Beforeyoubuy Opiniões 10

Essentially, you need a report to purchase. It’d be stupid not to. God forbid you have to before these incompetent fools. Ask a few questions about the report, to the person who pulled it together; nope. Can’t answer that. Need to ask the strata mangers… wait a week, don’t get a single response.
The customer service folks are amazingly considerate and polite but reporters like S.M. Are hopeless

Glorified Scammers! My experience with Before You Buy was extremely disappointing and distressing. The strata report I received did not meet my expectations in terms of clarity, depth or meaningful analysis. I raised concerns with the company. Rather than addressing those concerns constructively, the response I received escalated the situation. Following my complaint, I was informed that unless I withdrew my complaint, additional charges could be applied in connection with what they described as a “second charge” to my card. I found this communication deeply concerning. I believe I should not have been placed in a position where further financial charges were implied or referenced in response to a complaint. The tone of the correspondence felt intimidating, bullying and pressure-based rather than solution-oriented. Instead of resolving the matter fairly, I was left threatened amd bullied. Because of this experience, I will be lodging a formal complaint with the appropriate consumer authorities and Ombudsman. I believe customers should be able to raise concerns about paid services without fear of financial pressure or escalation. I strongly encourage anyone considering this company NOT to use them.

Incomplete / misleading report, Defects section of the report had nil defects listed. NSW Building Commissioner's had a work order on so many defects, Building has been in the media for years. DO NOT use them. either negligent and / or deliberately withed information. not helpful, besides complaining and specifically asking multiple times, they just were not willing to help and wanted more money.

We purchased a building and pest report for a property in Hopetoun Wa, waited 2 days and still no report, checked the status and it said canceled, I emailed and asked why it was cancelled as we needed it for the property, I got no response, I have now called them and the said reason they cancelled it was because they have no one in Hopetoun to do the report and no one would drive 6 hours to do the report, they said they refunded the money straight away but still waiting, they didn’t call or email to let me know they couldn’t do it, I had to chase them up. If we don’t get our money back my bank will dispute it.

Very slow. Paid $300+ for a strata report for it to come more than a week later. Ended up not making it in time and having to take a huge risk on an investment. And they will blame you for not letting them know about the cooling off period. I'd consider other strata report services out there in the market.

Their report is poor, they do not take responsibility for anything., they rip you off
and charge you a hefty cost after purchase with all these embedded clauses.

A fiasco. They took my money. The builder wouldn't take my job. The real estate is getting the sh*ts with me. They said they emailed but they bullsh*tted, no emails in any folders except the one to say hey got my cash. Their portal doesn't work for online messaging someone. They didnt email/message me in their portal. A sh*t phone service when it takes you dozens of options to finally talk to someone where you hear multiple conversations at once and cant communicate effectively. They are utter crooks and now Im trying to get a refund for a service I never got. Will have to reverse charges through my bank.

**Buyer Beware: Unlicensed/Unregistered Building Inspector Experience with "Before You Buy"**

I had a negative experience with "Before You Buy" and want to share my cautionary tale. Although I booked their services through a "Real Estate" website, the building inspector they sent was **not registered**.

It's crucial to confirm that any building inspector you hire is **licensed and registered**. "Before You Buy" might try to tell you that it's not mandatory in Victoria for private house inspections, but this can be misleading. Often, your property's **"Contract of Sale"** will stipulate that you need a licensed inspector.

I ended up wasting my money and was unable to get a refund from "Before You Buy." They claimed no responsibility since it's "not mandated by law." Based on my experience, I **would not recommend** using "Before You Buy."

I hope this helps you avoid a similar situation.

Just a heads up if you use beforeyoubuy.com.au. As the seller,

If you dont sell; they hit you with a mystery $200 fee 6 months later. NOTHING in their Ts and Cs. Just a small check box at the time of make payment. No other info about this on their website or literature.

Also if you are the buyer, and you purchased a copy for $70... YOU get the $200 bill if you go through and buy the premises.

I've questioned them about it not being on there web or anything.... kiss that money goodbye. Nothing like paying a good friendly builder to do a B and P... they know the more they find the more work they will get later.

Deceptive,unethical and untrustworthy business.
