When selling a property, it is essential to have compliant building plans and certificates of compliance for electrical, gas, water, and pest control installations. These certifications ensure that the property complies with local bylaws and regulations and avoids costly delays and legal issues during the transfer of ownership.
Older properties may require repairs and a check with the local council to ensure building plans are lodged and up-to-date. The SPLUMA Act requires a SPLUMA Certificate for property transfers in certain areas, confirming compliance with local bylaws, zoning, and use of the property, and approved building plans with the local council.
If there are shortcomings and the plans are not compliant, SM Architectural and Town planning services recommends that the sellers take timeous action to get those plans done by them.

Sellers should also ensure all outstanding property taxes, municipal utilities, and other taxes are paid to date. Certificates of compliance can cause delays, and sellers are responsible for the costs of providing them, unless otherwise agreed in the sale agreement.
