We recently had a frustrating experience with the management of a property. We encountered several issues related to the release of a tenant's bond without our consent, a failure to complete a condition report, and difficulties in communication with the management. These issues caused us concern and left us feeling disappointed.

We also had concerns about the accuracy of the information we received from the management. For example, we received suspicious responses regarding a VCAT claim related to damage to the property's carpet. It became clear that the management had only filed the claim shortly before responding to our inquiry and then withdrew the claim a few days later. This experience left us with the impression that the management was not acting in our best interests.

While we want to provide helpful feedback to other renters and property owners, we also want to ensure that our review remains objective and avoids negative personal comments. Overall, our experience with the management of this property was concerning, and we hope that others can benefit from our experience.

Approximate cost: $1000

In summary:
1. his crossover work didn' pass council inspection and he refused to fix it. I spent 2000 extra to find another concretor to fix it.
2. He promised to build 4.2m crossover, instead what he actually did was 4.0m, so 20cm less.
3. The exposed driveway looked smoky because he didn't do the sealing properly
4. Chemical used on driveway damaged the footpath, footpath was patchy.
Avoid this guy!!

In detail:
He gave me a discounted quote because he had one job canceled in that week and needed to fill it in. But his initial measure was not right and also he started the job very rushly without confirming the area and color.

After he started the job, we pointed out it was too small. He said in a very emotional way that he would need to requote the whole job, which invalidated the initial quote. It put us in a very disadvantaged status because he already started the job and did the excavation. In the end, we agreed to his proposal to pay 800 more for him to finish the job.

He finished the job and took the cash.

The crossover didn't pass council inspection. He blamed me to give him headache and refused to come back to fix it. I had to spend 2000 to fix it. After a lengthy attempt to contact him, he eventually offered 600 for refund. It was very stressful to deal with him because after taking the money, he rarely responds to your messages.

Approximate cost: $8300
