Why homeowners use VeriTrade

A simpler way to find help for your home

Tell VeriTrade what work you need and connect with relevant local tradespeople without sending the same information to several different places.

Describe the work once and add photographs where useful.

Connect locally

Relevant local tradespeople can respond through VeriTrade.

Compare profiles

Review previous work, feedback and available verification details.

Stay in control

You decide who you contact and who receives your details.

Your job is not simply sold to the highest bidder.

Information before deciding

More confidence before you choose

VeriTrade gives homeowners more information before deciding who to contact.

Every trade profile is built from what a business chooses to share and what VeriTrade has been able to verify. You can review the details that matter to you — recent work, feedback from other homeowners and any relevant checks — before making contact.

Example profile — actual information varies by trade.

  • Business information and profile
  • Photographs of previous work
  • Customer reviews and feedback
  • Identity or business verification where completed
  • Insurance information where supplied
  • Qualifications where supplied
  • Specialist badges where verified
  • Service area and contact preferences

Available information varies by trade account. Homeowners should still carry out checks appropriate to the type and value of work.

Trust & red flags

Concerns are recorded, not ignored

  1. 1

    A homeowner raises a concern

    Customers can report concerning behaviour or problems relating to their experience.

  2. 2

    VeriTrade reviews the information

    The concern can be reviewed, recorded and investigated where appropriate.

  3. 3

    Repeat concerns can trigger a review

    Three red flags within 180 days can move a trade account into review.

The system helps VeriTrade identify patterns of concerning behaviour before more homeowners may be affected.

It does not guarantee the outcome of work, prevent every unsuitable business from joining or replace the homeowner’s own checks.
