Water Certificates of Compliance when there is no water
If DAY ZERO arrives we are set for a lot of fun and games. Here is another complication.
As we all know, if a seller's property falls under the City of Cape Town, one of the seller's obligations in the transfer process is to obtain a Water Certificate of Compliance. Â But such a certificate can only be issued if the plumber has inspected the property when there is a supply of running water available. Â Therefore, if we run out of water, the certificate will not be able to be issued, and this will then complicate and delay the transfer. Â We therefore recommend that sellers immediately arrange for the issue of the Water Certificate of Compliance once the property has been sold, and before DAY ZERO arrives.
