Nigtmare experience – The worst property management group in Perth. 18 months of mismanagement compelled COO issue of "show cause" notice and termination of management contract. Handover revealed COO accounts insolvent with no notification of financial status received prior to or post termination. Be warned, stay away, legally incompetent and should not be permiited to operate.

Great experience – First time buying property and have had a great experience so far. Paul who I have been dealing with has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the process. Looking forward to completion!
Stress Free Process! – Both my partner and I were first home buyers when making an appointment with Blackburne. We were a little unsure and nervous about the whole process and how it all worked but after our intial meeting with Paul Prindiville we both felt relaxed and excited to get our loan organised and move into our first home! Paul and his team were in constant… Read more
communication with us both throughout the whole settlement process and were happy and willing to answer all of the many many questions we had! Could not recommend Paul and the Blackburne team enough, thank you for making our lifes a little easier.
Great Service – Paul Robinson was very professional and helpful throughout the process of buying my first apartment at East Village. He was always available to answer any questions, even after office hours, and he made an extra effort to ensure I got exactly what I wanted in my apartment. I can't wait to move in!
Negative reviews
Only provide minimum required follow up – Bought an apartment from Blackburne which we then got them to manage the lease on. Just after the year was up tenants moved out. When we took back the apartment there were a number of faults that Blackburne won’t fix as past 1 year. Problem is they managed the property and didn’t report the faults as part of inspections. So we get screwed both ways. I thought they were a quality company but no better than the rest of the cowboys out there.
Useless and irresponsible – Had numerous dramas with the current and previous places under Blackburn strata management. Some examples: Building security took more than 6 months to be modified and strengthened. Not arranging replacement for building's stolen security cameras for more than 2 weeks. Lobby doors still not closing properly after more than 1 year. Common parking… Read more
rolling door was left unfixed and open for 10 days putting all residents' cars at risk. Not paying attention to residents' petition regarding building awful situation. and quite recently just now, no hot water in the whole building for more than 2 days and still going on. They are rude and not-responsive. Money wasters.
Shame on you Blackburn. You've already missed one of your serious customers to buy one of your apartments. No more apartment just because of you as a useless strata.
Terrible Service – The Property Manager Amy does not look after you. She forces you into a 12 month lease because she would not fix the black mould on the bathroom ceiling unless you sign a 12 month lease. This maintenance issue was a 5 week fight. Then she makes everything personal when you report maintenance to her. She has a bad attitude. Doesn't lift a finger.… Read more
She makes you change the security lights for the complex when it is her job to do this. She gives you the wrong advice and wrong information.

Great property managment – Great experience with Blackburne representative on our Claremont rental. Quick replies, Maddisson paid attention to our needs with great efficiency.
Amazing service – I came across Blackburne via a Google search, and wasn't even sure if we were in a position to refinance our mortgage or not, as it is the first time we had ever done it. After filling out a contact form, Brian got in touch the following morning and from that moment on, he was amazing to deal with. He is very easy--going and always replies to my… Read more
emails quickly no matter how trivial the question. Tracy was an amazing help as well, giving us updates along the way.
We are very happy that we were able to refinance our mortgage and obtain a far lower interest rate than the previous lender. The application took a while to be assessed, but this was due to the new lender having a backlog of applications.
I look forward to a long relationship with Blackburne into the future.
Would engage in business again for future dealings – My experience with Blackburne, in particular with Paul Robinson, was positive from the first meeting and continues throughout the sale. Very genuine, honest, relaxed and professional. Always prompt with replies to emails and any questions I may have. Would recommend him and Blackburne to family and friends.
Professional Property Management Service – I have used Blackburne's service for over 7 years now. Sarndra has been a great property manager and showed her professionalism in resolving any issues that arise related to the tenants. I am happy to recommend them to anyone.
Outstanding service - professional, friendly and SO helpful – We recently purchased an apartment at Marina East and have been so very impressed with the level of customer service generously given to us by Paul Robinson. Paul has gone above and beyond to help us - always with a smile and 'happy to help' attitude. We couldn't be more satisfied with the communication and service we have been provided. Thank you Paul!

Mortgage rate review – Thanks Tracy and Brian for a great job on getting our current mortgage interest rates reviewed. We had just gone along with what the bank gave us, until Tracy at Blackburne contacted us, all we had to do was provide our mortgage details in an email and Brian managed to get us new interest rates. All without leaving the house. Cheers Show details

Excellent communication and quick response! – I needed to relocate to the city and found Loren from the Perth office to be courteous, friendly and always willing and able to answer my questions.

Thank you, I am looking forward to my journey with Blackburne. Show reply
