Selling your Morningside home and unsure what the fence needs before handover? Wesslink can assess the installation, explain necessary repairs and help with an electric fence COC when it meets the requirements. Arrange the assessment early enough to consider findings, approve work and deal with access or other repairs before the final deadline.
A sale deadline cannot determine the inspection result. Provide known concerns at the outset rather than waiting for the final paperwork request.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Morningside is separately identified on Sandton’s municipal map and community-sector records. Use the exact address and development name so the booking is not confused with Morningside Hills or Morningside Manor. For a sale, establish who will arrange access and approve repairs while the owner, agent and conveyancing contacts handle their respective parts of the transaction.
Provide the previous certificate and known alteration history before the assessment. Ask for a clear explanation of defects, relevant limitations and proposed corrective work. This allows the owner to make informed repair decisions before the sale timetable becomes tight, instead of treating the inspection as a document collection appointment.
Keep the buyer’s observation separate from the technical findings. Describe the visible condition or symptom and arrange assessment rather than promising a particular replacement before the installation is checked. Electric fence repairs should address the actual findings; optional changes requested by the buyer can be discussed distinctly.
Arrange keys and a contact who can reach the full fence route and relevant equipment. Tell the inspector which sections or buildings may be locked. An agent who can show the living areas may still need additional access for the fence assessment, especially where equipment is in a separate or managed area.
An electric fence compliance certificate should relate to the assessed installation. If repairs are done after the first visit, retain a clear description of what was corrected and arrange any necessary further assessment. Do not assume that sending an invoice alone completes every inspection requirement, or that an old document automatically describes equipment altered during ownership.
If a new electric fence installation or substantial alteration is requested as part of the sale agreement, explain the proposed finished arrangement and obtain applicable property or management approval. Coordinate it with any wall, gate or electrical work. The final handover should provide relevant records and a clear account of completed work, without promising that future damage or faults cannot occur.
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 for inspection, identified corrections and any requested improvement to be described clearly. Provide the handover timetable and access conditions so attendance can be discussed realistically. If additional work is found, agree who may authorise it and how the relevant parties will receive the findings without confusing a quotation with completed repairs.

No fixed price is assumed before the installation and access requirements are understood.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · MORNINGSIDE
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Start while there is time to address findings and coordinate access or other trades. Provide your timetable, but allow the actual inspection and required corrections to determine the next steps.
Record the message and timing and arrange electric fence fault finding. Do not silence or bypass equipment simply to avoid questions during a viewing; explain the concern and have it assessed.
Describe the concern first and ask for assessment of the actual installation. Repairs or replacement should be based on findings rather than an assumption that new equipment is necessary for every sale.
Provide the relevant certificate and completed repair records for the installation, together with useful maintenance information. Keep any separate optional or unfinished project work clearly identified.
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.
