We're not sure where these have come from, but we thought we'd clear the air and give you the low down.
Myth 1: "If your provider uses contractors, they’re more likely to create rectification jobs so they get more work."
BUSTED! At Taskforce we use a combination of full-time employed trades and contractors to conduct our safety checks. This allows us to cover a greater area of Victoria, including regional areas, while still retaining our competitive pricing. You can be sure that the contractors we use to conduct safety checks will NEVER be given rectification work at the same property they’ve inspected.
Myth 2: "I’ve been told that Taskforce doesn’t do key jobs."
BUSTED! Taskforce will collect keys if the property is within a 5km radius of the Agency location (of course in regional areas 5kms won't get you very far so we will extend this distance outside of metro areas). Additionally, we provide multiple access solutions for properties where collecting the keys may not be possible.
Myth 3: "Taskforce doesn’t do vacant properties."
BUSTED! At Taskforce we will service vacant properties as long as the utilities are connected and we can access the property. It is literally impossible for us to conduct a full gas or electrical check, or check all the categories of rental minimum standards if the utiliteis are not connected. But if we are able to fully conduct the required checks, then of couse we will service a vacant property. We recommend you read our article here about some things you should consider when booking checks for a vacant property.
Myth 4: "The booking calendar never has any appointments available."
BUSTED! We appreciate that renters will sometimes call their property manager and tell them that there were no appointments available on our calendars. You can be assured that we always have appointments available and are adding booking slots to our calendars every day - if a renter can’t see a time that works for them, they can contact our friendly team who can work with them to schedule the appointment at a time that works.
