What We Do

Some swimming pool certifiers can also carry out minor repairs to make a swimming pool comply. To be able to do so, they must be authorised under the Home Building Act to perform swimming pool building or structural landscaping work.

We provide a streamlined service that makes obtaining a swimming pool compliance certificate as stress-free as possible. We cater to the needs of homeowners, real estate agents, solicitors and all pool owners in Sydney. From initial enquiry to issuing the certificate, we provide hands-on assistance.

Swimming Pool Register

The NSW Government has announced that starting 29 April 2016, all properties in NSW with a swimming pool or spa pool CANNOT be sold or leased without a valid swimming pool compliance certificate or relevant occupation certificate. Failure to attach the certificates may allow the purchaser to rescind the contract within 14 days of exchange unless settlement has already occurred. (Source: fairtrading.nsw.gov.au)

Landlords and real estate agents must ensure that any residential tenancy agreement entered on or after 29 April 2016 for any property with a pool facility has a valid certificate of compliance.

Pool Barrier

E1 Certifier

Child drownings are often linked to pool fencing issues, despite the effectiveness of compliant and secure barriers in preventing tragedies. Compliance inspections have room for improvement. For non-compliant pools, owners must address deficiencies within six weeks or face escalation to the local council. Immediate action will be taken if there is an imminent risk. Different rules apply when selling a property with a non-compliant pool/spa system, requiring either a compliance certificate or disclosure of non-compliance and needed repairs upon transfer of ownership.

Upon buying a home with a non-compliant pool certificate, necessary repairs must be made within 90 days. The local council can enforce compliance through legal action or fines. We recommend Clear View Property Inspections for thorough checks before purchasing such properties to anticipate repair costs which can be substantial. Familiarizing yourself with NSW Pool Safety Compliance Regulations is also advised.
