Pool Fence Inspections

Selling a House with a Pool

If a property is being sold when a current Pool Safety Certificate is not in effect at the time of settlement, the seller will provide the purchaser a Form 36 – Notice of No Pool Safety Certificate. This form advises the prospective buyer that there is no current safety certificate in effect and is intended to assist the buyer to make an informed decision about purchasing the property.

Before Settlement
If a property is being listed as sold with a pool safety certificate, the seller must provide the buyer a copy of the certificate before settlement. If the property is being sold without a pool safety certificate, the seller must provide the buyer a copy of the Form 36 – Notice of No Pool Safety Certificate with the settlement date.
Non-Shared Pools
If a property is being sold without a current pool safety certificate, the onus is on the buyer to engage a pool fence inspector and gain a pool safety certificate within 90 days from settlement.

Buying a Property with a Pool

If you are buying a property in Queensland that has a swimming pool or spa, a pool safety certificate is required to be gained within 90 days of the settlement date. If a property you are looking to purchase has a pool, a pre purchase pool fence inspection should be conducted to allow you to make a informed decision on the property. Often when a home is offered for sale without a pool safety certificate there is good reason for this – generally there are a lot of fencing issues to be rectified, neighbours to consult and lots of money to be spent. As the new owner, you will be responsible to for performing and paying for any issues to be fixed. As part of a pre purchase pool fence inspection, all pool fencing issues will be documented within the pool fence inspection report with photos and solutions on how to make the fencing comply.

Shared Pools

For shared pools, if a pool safety certificate is not in effect before settlement, the pool owner, usually the body corporate, has 90 days from settlement to obtain a pool safety certificate.
