arrange an EPA or local-authority inspection simply because you are selling the property. Official inspections under the National Inspection Plan are carried out by trained City or County Council inspectors appointed by the EPA, allocated through the national programme, with at least ten working days&#8217; notice normally given to the homeowner.<\/p><p>A seller should therefore not claim that a system has \u201cpassed EPA inspection\u201d unless an official inspection has actually taken place and the relevant documentation is available. A buyer, seller, engineer, or surveyor may still recommend an independent wastewater assessment as part of the transaction \u2014 this is separate from a National Inspection Plan inspection and does not result in an official EPA Certificate of Compliance.<\/p><p>An independent assessment may be particularly useful where:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11ec3c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"11ec3c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n  .tricel-system-warning-list {\r\n    --tricel-green: #2A5B3F;\r\n    --tricel-text: #24352C;\r\n\r\n    width: 100%;\r\n    margin: 0;\r\n    padding: 0;\r\n    color: var(--tricel-text);\r\n    font-family: \"Poppins\", Arial, sans-serif;\r\n    font-size: 14px;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .tricel-system-warning-list,\r\n  .tricel-system-warning-list * {\r\n    box-sizing: border-box;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .tricel-system-warning-list ul {\r\n    display: grid;\r\n    gap: 13px;\r\n    margin: 0;\r\n    padding: 0;\r\n    list-style: none;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .tricel-system-warning-list li {\r\n    position: relative;\r\n    margin: 0;\r\n    padding-left: 25px;\r\n    font-size: 14px;\r\n    line-height: 1.65;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .tricel-system-warning-list li::before {\r\n    content: \"\";\r\n    position: absolute;\r\n    top: 8px;\r\n    left: 0;\r\n    width: 9px;\r\n    height: 9px;\r\n    border-radius: 1px;\r\n    background-color: var(--tricel-green);\r\n  }\r\n<\/style>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"tricel-system-warning-list\">\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>The age or type of the system is unknown.<\/li>\r\n\r\n    <li>No drawings or installation records are available.<\/li>\r\n\r\n    <li>The system\u2019s location is uncertain.<\/li>\r\n\r\n    <li>Part of the system may be outside the legal property boundary.<\/li>\r\n\r\n    <li>The percolation area is wet or shows signs of ponding.<\/li>\r\n\r\n    <li>The property has been extended or its occupancy has increased.<\/li>\r\n\r\n    <li>The system is shared with another property.<\/li>\r\n\r\n    <li>The system is close to a private well.<\/li>\r\n\r\n    <li>Alarms or pumps are not operating correctly.<\/li>\r\n\r\n    <li>The buyer\u2019s surveyor or solicitor has raised questions.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a304aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7a304aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Law Society&#8217;s seller checklist notes that evidence relating to the wastewater system may take longer to obtain where a survey is required to confirm its location.

Official\r\n          inspections are allocated to City and County Councils under the\r\n          EPA\u2019s National Inspection Plan and are not routinely arranged by the\r\n          seller as part of every property sale.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n          A seller or prospective buyer may separately commission an\r\n          independent wastewater assessment where the condition, capacity,\r\n          location, planning status, or operation of the system is uncertain.\r\n          This is not the same as an official National Inspection Plan\r\n          inspection.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/details>\r\n\r\n    <details class=\"tricel-property-faq-item\">\r\n      <summary class=\"tricel-property-faq-question\">\r\n        Is a registration certificate proof that the septic tank is compliant?\r\n      <\/summary>\r\n\r\n      <div class=\"tricel-property-faq-answer\">\r\n        <p>\r\n          No. A Certificate of Registration confirms that the property and its\r\n          domestic wastewater treatment system have been entered on the\r\n          official register.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n          It does not certify the system\u2019s planning status, physical condition,\r\n          treatment performance, capacity, installation standard, or\r\n          suitability for the property.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/details>\r\n\r\n    <details class=\"tricel-property-faq-item\">\r\n      <summary class=\"tricel-property-faq-question\">\r\n        What is a septic tank Certificate of Compliance?\r\n      <\/summary>\r\n\r\n      <div class=\"tricel-property-faq-answer\">\r\n        <p>\r\n          A Certificate of Compliance is associated with the outcome of an\r\n          official inspection where the domestic wastewater treatment system\r\n          has been found to comply with the relevant Water Services\r\n          requirements.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n          It is different from a Certificate of Registration.
