CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111RENTAL HANDOVERS · SHARED BOUNDARIES · RESPONSIBLE REPAIRS
Moving into or managing a rental in Atholl Gardens? Establish who looks after the fence before an alarm or a missing document becomes a handover dispute. Wesslink can assess an existing installation for an electric fence COC and explain the corrective work, access and records needed for the actual property.
A tenant can report a fault without being responsible for commissioning work on a shared boundary. Obtain the landlord or managing agent’s instructions before booking alterations.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Atholl Gardens includes apartment developments such as Atholl Yards, with communal facilities as well as individual homes. For a rental handover, ask whether the fence serves one dwelling or the managed property. The unit condition report may be with the letting agent while common fence records are with management, so identify the right contact before booking the inspection.
Write down what happened and send it to the person responsible for maintenance. Identify the boundary from a safe position, such as the side facing the entrance or garden. Avoid describing it as your fence merely because it is visible from your unit. The manager can confirm who may authorise electric fence repairs and provide access to the equipment.
Before handing over keys, gather the fence documents and explain how residents should report concerns. If a display, remote or alarm interface is included with the tenancy, arrange an explanation of its normal use. Do not leave a new occupant to discover an unresolved fault or guess which security company, caretaker or contractor should receive it.
A garden beside a common boundary does not by itself establish who maintains the fence above it. If landscaping, a screen or a new gate is proposed, ask the owner and manager to confirm the responsible party. Describe the planned change before an electric fence installation quotation is prepared, and obtain applicable approval for shared property.
For an electric fence compliance certificate assessment, send the existing fence document and the installation address it names. Ask the landlord about repairs or alterations completed during the previous tenancy. If the equipment is managed centrally, request the relevant records from the managing agent and agree who will receive the inspection findings. Keep a copy with the property maintenance records so the next handover is easier.
After an assessment, keep the findings and completed repair records together. Tell the incoming occupant how to report a future concern without giving them unnecessary access to shared controls. Arrange the inspection when the responsible person can open the necessary areas; a tenant’s key to the front door may not allow the inspector to follow the fence or reach its energiser.
INSPECTION & TESTING
A working energiser is one part of the system. The inspection also considers the fence installation, its safety provisions and the test results.
An electric fence certificate follows inspection and testing by a registered person. Defects affecting compliance must be corrected before certification. Read Regulations 12–13 ↗
Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.
Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.
Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.
Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.
ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS
Ask whether the quote covers a private installation, a shared system or investigation of one reported symptom. Agree who receives the findings and who approves additional work. This avoids a tenant accepting costs for common equipment before the landlord or manager has considered them.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · ATHOLL GARDENS
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
You can ask the landlord or managing agent for the relevant document and report concerns. Arranging inspection or corrective work on common equipment requires coordination with the person who controls that installation.
Record when it happens and what the display or notification says. Send that information to the maintenance contact. Electric fence fault finding should assess the equipment; do not open controls or touch wires to demonstrate a problem.
Arrange a contact who can open the relevant equipment and boundary areas, not only the apartment. Ask management about access to common sections and tell the tenant when attendance is planned.
No inspection prevents future damage or changes. Keep the completed findings, report new symptoms promptly and arrange assessment when work affects the fence or its surroundings.
A registered electric fence system installer may issue an electric fence compliance certificate after the required inspection and testing. An ordinary electrical COC is a separate document.
Ask for the inspection, any repairs and any return visit to be itemised in the quote. The work required depends on what is found; a price should not assume that the fence will pass before it has been inspected.
