Pre-Sale Power Pole Inspection
A private power pole is a fixed asset most vendors, buyers and agents never think to check — until a defect notice or a $5,500–$12,000+ replacement bill shows up after settlement. Our Level 2 ASP electricians inspect the pole, footing, service line and hardware, and hand you a plain-language report within 48 hours.

Do You Need a Pre-Sale Pole Inspection?
Answer three quick questions and we'll tell you how much this matters for your sale or purchase.1
Why a Pre-Sale Pole Inspection Matters
A private power pole is easy to overlook during a sale — it's not inside the building report, it's rarely mentioned in a standard contract, and most buyers walk straight past it. But if it's defective, non-compliant, or carries an unresolved Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy defect notice, it becomes someone's problem — usually at the worst possible time.
Replacement isn't cheap: private power pole replacement in Sydney typically runs depending on pole type, access and connection complexity. Finding that out during due diligence, with time to negotiate or budget, is a very different experience to finding out after settlement with no leverage left.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Why does a property sale need a power pole inspection?
A private power pole is a fixed asset the vendor is responsible for, and a defective or non-compliant one can hold up settlement, trigger price renegotiation, or become the buyer's expensive surprise after they move in. A pre-sale inspection puts a documented, independent condition report in front of everyone before contracts are exchanged, so there are no disputes later.
How much does it cost if the pole needs replacing?
Private power pole replacement in Sydney typically runs from around $5,500 to $12,000 or more, depending on pole type, access and connection complexity. Finding this out during due diligence — rather than after settlement — gives buyers and sellers room to negotiate or budget for it properly. See our pole replacement service.
How long does the inspection take and how fast is the report?
The on-site assessment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You'll have the full written report — in plain language, acceptable to insurers, brokers and solicitors — within 48 hours, so it fits comfortably inside a standard due diligence or cooling-off period.
Who usually books a pre-sale power pole inspection?
Sellers and their agents commonly book one before listing to avoid surprises during due diligence. Buyers and their solicitors or conveyancers also book independently during the cooling-off or due diligence period, particularly on older properties or ones with a visibly aged pole.
What happens if the inspection finds a defect?
You get a clear written report describing the defect, its severity, and a fixed-price quote to rectify it. As Level 2 ASP electricians we can carry out any repair, straightening or replacement ourselves and issue the compliance certificate — the same team from inspection through to certified fix. See defect rectification.
Does this cover the numbered street pole too, or just my private pole?
Our inspection covers the private power pole and service line on the property, which is what a vendor is responsible for and what buyers should be checking. A numbered street pole belongs to Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy — if there's a concern about one near the property, we can advise who to contact. Call 0411 719 093.
Buying or Selling? Get Clarity.
A pre-sale pole inspection pays for itself the moment it turns up a defect — or puts buyers at ease with a clean bill of health.
