Did you know the new legislation for swimming pools and spas starts 29th April, 2016?
This may affect the buying or leasing process for you and I thought I would share the simplified version of the changes to keep you up to date. The new law requires that prior to sale (auction or private treaty) or lease a valid certificate of compliance or non-compliance be attached to the Contract for Sale of Residential Tenancy Agreement.
If a Vendor or Landlord owns a pool or spa and does not have a compliance certificate attached to their respective contracts, that contract may be deemed invalid.
