Leasing

Pool certificate for leasing a property

Renting out a property with a pool or spa? We inspect the barrier and issue your compliance certificate quickly, so the new lease isn't held up.

What landlords need

Tenants must be given a copy of a certificate of compliance (valid for 3 years) or an occupation certificate. A certificate of non-compliance can't be used to lease. (Source: Building Commission NSW.) More in landlords and pool safety.

For property managers

We work with real estate rental teams, property maintenance teams and strata managers. Send the address and access details and we'll arrange a time.

The pool compliance works were completed to a high standard and in a professional manner. The contractor demonstrated excellent knowledge of the relevant compliance requirements and carried out the inspection thoroughly.
Communication throughout the process was clear and responsive, with all findings and recommendations explained in an easy to understand manner. The works were completed within the agreed timeframe, and all required documentation was provided promptly upon completion.
Overall, the contractor was reliable, professional, and easy to work with. Management is satisfied with the quality of the service provided and would have no hesitation in recommending them for future pool compliance inspections and certification works.

We’ve used Georges River Pool Certifiers for pool compliance inspections across multiple properties, and the service has been nothing short of outstanding every time.
They are always punctual, extremely knowledgeable, and thorough in their inspections. The process is smooth from start to finish, with clear communication and timely certification. Their professionalism and attention to detail give us full confidence that all compliance requirements are being properly met.
It’s rare to find someone this dependable and easy to work with. We highly recommend them to anyone in the real estate industry or anyone needing pool compliance certification done right.
