For residential property managers
Protect your landlords. Protect your tenants. Protect your agency.
You send a trade to someone's home, often after hours, often the same day. TradeVerify tells you whether that trade is licensed and insured before you send them — the licence confirmed against a government register, the insurance read and verified, not taken on trust.
- Status up front, not after the invoice
- Evidence for the landlord who asks
- Free for the trades on your panel

Why this is different
Property management is not strata, and the risk isn't either.
You act for an individual lessor, not a statutory body. There is no committee, no levy fund, and usually no schedule — there is a tenant with no hot water at 7pm and a landlord who has approved the spend by text message.
The premises are occupied
An unlicensed trade on common property is a compliance problem. An unlicensed trade inside a tenanted home is a compliance problem with someone living in it — and the agency arranged the visit.
Urgent repairs don't wait
Residential tenancy legislation obliges you to act quickly on urgent repairs, and the timeframes differ by State and Territory. Speed is the point — which is exactly when document-chasing gets skipped.
One landlord, one question
A landlord who receives an invoice for work they didn't watch happen tends to ask one thing: was this person licensed. You either have that on record, or you are emailing the tradesperson weeks later asking them to prove something about a job that's already been paid.
What you get
Contractor verification that keeps up with the job.
We maintain the panel — onboarding each trade, chasing their documents and watching the expiry dates — so the check you do at 7pm is a two-second look, not a phone call.
Check before you send
A trade's current status is available at the moment you are choosing who to send, including out of hours. Not a folder full of certificates and licence files.
Your panel, maintained for you
Every trade on your panel is onboarded and chased by TradeVerify, and reminded before anything expires. Verification is free for them, which is why they complete it instead of ignoring it.
Requirements, maintained
We maintain what each trade type is expected to hold — licence class, public liability, workers compensation — and check what the contractor actually holds against it. You don't build a matrix or decide what's adequate for a trade you've never engaged.
A record you can produce
Every check is timestamped and shows where the answer came from, so the evidence exists when a landlord asks — rather than sitting in someone's sent items.
Questions
For property management agencies
Can we check a contractor out of hours, before sending them?
Yes. A contractor's current status is available whenever you need it, including evenings and weekends. That is the case the product is built for — the decision about who to send is made under time pressure, and that is precisely when a document folder is least useful.
What if we need a trade who isn't on TradeVerify yet?
Add them and we start the onboarding immediately. They are contacted and guided through verification without your team chasing them. Verification costs the contractor nothing, so the usual reason for refusing does not apply.
Do our landlords see any of this?
Not directly — TradeVerify is a tool for your agency. What it gives you is the record to answer a landlord who asks whether the trade you sent was licensed and insured, with the date of the check and the authority that confirmed it.
We manage a small rent roll. Is this only for large agencies?
No. The work of verifying a trade doesn't scale down — a small agency checks the same registers for the same trades, usually with fewer people to do it.
Does this replace our tradesperson's certificate of currency?
It replaces the process of collecting, filing and re-chasing them. TradeVerify monitors what the contractor holds against the requirements set for their trade and tells you when something lapses, rather than leaving you with a certificate that was accurate on the day it was issued.
Does this work with PropertyMe, Console or our trust accounting system?
Most property management platforms expose an API, and integrations are built based upon your current configuration — so tell us what you operate on and we'll plan the connection. In the meantime TradeVerify runs alongside your system: your panel is maintained here, and checking a trade before you send them is a look, not a second data-entry job.
