Gold Coast

Know the pool before you buy the house

A building and pest inspection rarely tells you much about the pool. A tired pump, a failing chlorinator, a cracked shell or a hidden leak can be thousands you did not budget for. We inspect the pool independently so you buy with your eyes open.

Part of our full range of Gold Coast pool services — one local team for cleaning, repairs, inspections and compliance.

from $220

What's included

  • Pump, filter, chlorinator and heater condition assessment
  • Pool shell, surface and waterline inspection
  • Leak and plumbing assessment
  • Barrier and safety-compliance overview
  • Estimated remaining life and likely first-year costs
  • Plain-English written report — same-week turnaround

A pool is one of the most expensive things on a property to fix after settlement, and problems are easy to hide behind a few weeks of clear water and a fresh service before the open home. Our report gives you an honest condition assessment and a realistic view of what you are likely to spend in the first year of ownership.

It also hands you leverage. If the equipment is on its last legs, the shell needs resurfacing, or the barrier will not pass a safety inspection, that is a real number you can take into the negotiation — and it often pays for the inspection many times over. On a competitive Gold Coast market, knowing the true condition before you commit is worth far more than the fee.

We check the equipment, the shell and surfaces, the plumbing and the safety barrier, then write it up in plain English — no jargon, no padding. You get a clear picture of what works, what does not, and what it will cost, in time to act on it before your contract goes unconditional.

Common signs you need pre-purchase pool inspection

  • You are buying a property with a pool or spa
  • The pool looks freshly "tidied up" for the sale
  • The equipment looks old, mismatched or neglected
  • You want a real number for negotiating the price
  • Your building & pest report excluded the pool

Common questions

Rarely in any depth. Building and pest inspections focus on the house. A dedicated pool inspection covers the equipment, shell, plumbing and likely costs that a general inspection misses.
