Miltons Matsemela Conveyancers

Please be aware that as from 1 May 2023 a new prescribed, 5-page gas certificate of compliance (COC), will be required, in order to comply with the legal requirement to furnish a gas COC, should there be any gas installations on the property. The SAQCC Gas NPC has also been officially appointed and mandated by the Department of Employment and Labour to register gas practitioners within the various gas industries in South Africa. As from 1 May 2023, all gas COCs must be in the prescribed form and gas compliance companies may not use any other form. Here is a link to the said form.

As such, and as from 1 May 2023, conveyancers will not be able to accept any other format gas COC, for a transfer anymore.
