MISSING/LOST ELECTRICITY CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE

On 18 October 2011 we signed an Offer to Purchase in terms of which the Seller had to deliver the Elecrical Certificate of Compliance to the conveyancer and that the conveyancer was not allowed to register transfer without having received the certificate. The transfer attorneys were Leeuwner Maritz and the property was registered in the Deeds Office on 25 November 2011.

All activities and completion dates are communicated to Veriagent. In this instance Leeuwner Maritz reported on 25 October 2011 that "Electrical compliance certificate requested (Completed)". It subsequently transpired that the CoC was only done on 24 November 2011 - the day before registration of transfer.

The Seller's attorneys finally confirmed in writing that the CoC was delivered to Leeuwner Maritz and in emails received from Tania Brand and Sonet Pretorius during August 2013, both confirmed that Leeuwner Maritz had the CoC before registration of transfer. The only evidence of the CoC obtained so far is a copy faxed on 28 November 2011.

We are now unable to get any further advice from Leeuwner Maritz whether they had lost the original CoC, or if they could assist us to obtain a new CoC.
