    Hi guys, just doing my DD on a property - I would need to remove an in ground pool and some sheds and need quotes ASAP to ensure the purchase is going to stack up. Logan area.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would need them to quote me in the next week.

    Cheers

    Removing pools aint cheap, 10-15k to do it properly

    Yep ok cool, I have received plenty of quotes but only for concrete pools, thats still really cheap anyway. Not sure about QLD, but in NSW you need to report to council and get the removal updated on their system which isnt a huge cost but still around $500 or so. Also need to consider re-turfing after pool removed and hole filled.

    The removal itself was $2,800 and the certification process with council was $700.

    Cheers,

    Did you guys just get the pool destroyed and disposed of? Are you able to share your contact? I've got a property I need to remove a fibreglass pool from also.

    I read that there is a small market for second hand fibreglass pools which is interesting.

    It's a bit tricky to check past sales on Gumtree, but eBay make it pretty easy. There are a couple of sold pools there, but I guess it will all depend on demand in your area.

    fibreglass pool in In-Ground Pools | eBay

    The way I see it, I'm going to dump it anyways so if I have a chance of getting $1k in my pocket then it's worth trying!
