Pool Handover & Pre-Purchase Inspection

One team for the whole journey — we check the pool over before you sign, then teach you exactly how to run it once it’s yours. Buying, or already settled in? Either way, start confident, not confused.

✓ Next-Day Guarantee — not right? We’re back the next day, free.

Two stages, one team

Before you sign, and once it’s yours.

Book either one on its own, or both as part of the same purchase — we’ll follow up once you’ve settled in if you only book the inspection now.

Once You Own It

Handover & Training

New pool, or new to a pool you’ve just inherited? We get the water chemistry right from day one and teach you, on-site, exactly how to run it.

$99 /1-hour session
  • ✓ A step-by-step walkthrough of your pool, filtration & hydraulic equipment
  • ✓ Shown how to filter, backwash, rinse & clean the filter
  • ✓ Shown your optimal pump running settings & how to use your chlorinator
  • ✓ A rundown of your equipment’s life expectancy
  • ✓ One free water test & balance (chemicals not included in the price)
  • ✓ One free follow-up phone call about your equipment
Not to be confused with a QLD safety compliance check — that’s about the fencing meeting the law. This is about the pool itself.
Why Blue Avenue

Don’t buy someone else’s problem — and don’t inherit their guesswork either.

A pool can look flawless in the listing photos and still be hiding a failing pump, a hairline crack in the shell, or years of deferred maintenance — a building and pest inspection won’t catch most of it, ours will. And once it’s yours, most new owners are handed a pool and zero instructions. One session with us turns the guesswork into confidence — or roll straight onto a care plan afterwards and never think about it again.

Questions

Handover & Pre-Purchase Inspection — common questions.

Is a pre-purchase inspection the same as a QLD safety compliance check?+
No. A safety compliance check is about the pool barrier and fencing meeting QLD law. A pre-purchase inspection looks at the actual condition of the pool and equipment — the shell, tiles, pump, filter, chlorinator and heater — so you know what you're buying, not just what's legal.
How fast can you do the pre-purchase inspection before my contract deadline?+
Usually within 24–48 hours of your request, so it fits alongside your building and pest inspection timeline.
Can I use the pre-purchase report to negotiate the price?+
Yes — that's exactly what it's for. You get a clear written report with photos and an estimated cost to fix anything we find, so you're negotiating from facts, not guesses.
I just bought a house with a pool — where do I start?+
Book a Handover & Training session — on-site, we balance the water and teach you the essentials, so you start confident, not confused.
Do you commission brand-new pools?+
Yes — correct start-up chemistry protects new surfaces and equipment. We’ll get it right.
What does each session cost?+
Both are $99 flat — Handover & Training is $99 for a 1-hour on-site session, including one free water test & balance and a follow-up call. The Pre-Purchase Inspection is also $99, for the full shell, equipment and surrounds check, regardless of pool size.
