Binks have no regard for the owners only for themselves and how much money they can extract from property owners. Make sure you never use them Be Warned

Sorry mate they are useless. Your little friend in the kew office is a scammer.

Still waiting for Binks to respond to my telephone calls and emails. Very bad customer service

I have been attempting to deal with *hidden*. You have more luck getting a response to genuine concerns about the running of an OC from a chair.

I'd be very happy to hear from anyone with experience of Binks as they are the the respondent in an action my solicitor is taking.

We recently met with binks too. But after doing some research and reading this blog i will be using another company to manage our property.

Keep clicking that mouse to another company. Do it . Now. Fast. ....then breath a sigh of relief that you have had a lucky near miss. Well done.

BINKS is a OC driven by greed nothing else, further more they are totally incompetent. except to send extra fees 1380 $ for this year alone
Does AGM when they think about it.

I've seen Binks take a well-planned and appointed property in Nott Street (Port Melb) and manage it backwards to a poorly appointed and ratty property. They are doing the bare minimum and that equates to communal area that is old, tacky and filthy that somehow requires a small fortune in management fees. Do not trust your investment in a building managed by these jokers.

Binks Kew office proved to be most disappointing in relation to Owners Corporation management. The "manager" seemingly did nothing at all to resolve a minor problem in a managed apartment building, which due to his apparent inactivity became a significant one, lasting several months until resolved through another channel.

I have called, emailed, called again, for months, just to get them to get someone to adjust the anti-slamming mechanism next door. The frigging door slams all day and all night. Their maintenance workers who come twice a week to deal with the bins and garden are able to fix this. However, Binks and cohorts are so incompetent that they have not managed to pass the job to them. Sack them, I say. With over 5% unemployed eager for a job, this slackness in an insult to everybody's work ethic

Mmmm, because people in other states dont invest in the property market in melbourne! Regardless of where people are located they shouldnt have to put up with questionable practices when it comes to their investments.

The person who wrote this is F.O.S. Binks are crap! Never use!

1. If your not from Melbourne you wouldn't know as they only deal with Melbourne sites. So at least 12 of you are F.O.S.
2.Dealt with many OC companies over 20 years and "hidden" is one of the most competent. Just so you know, Binks are not (FM's) Facilities managers but OC managers, there is a big difference. Some owners just want an OC manager for the legal stuff and some maintenance, others need an FM to look after the maintenance (larger sites). If you want to pay another $30K+ p/a get an FM, if not then stop complaining. In my experience the majority of hold-ups with maintenance are committee members with no idea of true costs, want a wall painted for $100 type of stuff.
Binks may not be the best but they are near the top, when the Sh*t hits the fan these are the OC managers you will want.

sorry binks after reading the feedback on this site, we wont be using your services. we are seeking someone honest and transparent who could manage our building effectively. reading this feedback you don't appear to be competent.

*hidden* has managed our strata complex for over 5 years and a better manager you could not find. I would strongly recommend him

Congratulation to binks and associates in particular *hidden* for your award as the worst body corporate manager in 2013. This is your fourth straight award. Well done.

Be warned... Stay away from binks, in particular their kew office.

*hidden* of binks and associates is a fraud. Be warned he will take your money and deliver nothing.

Never never use. They continue to state that managing the property is not their responsibility and that they are only administrators. Maybe they should be honest to people who are looking at using them and tell them upfront that they will happily take their money but deliver nothing.

If you are looking for a manager that is amaturish, arrogant and incompetent look no further than *hidden* of binks and associates. Go back to being a used car saleman. You are dishonest,
