Speed Bump concerns and noise at night24/7

We are residents of an estate on Bromyard Avenue in Acton, West 3 London, currently managed by your company since April of last year. While we do appreciate that some aspects of the estate are being handled well — such as the cleaning — there is a serious issue that needs urgent attention. Recently, a speed bump was installed in a specific area without any prior consultation with leaseholders or residents. This was done without warning, and many of us believe this was unauthorised. Although Richard from Berkeley has confirmed that he agreed to the installation, we still believe this action was improper. As far as we understand, a managing agent is not permitted to independently make traffic management decisions that affect the estate’s residents in this way. This speed bump has had negative and dangerous consequences: • Cars are now driving onto the pavement to avoid the bump — which has resulted in near-accidents, including one where I was nearly hit. • Residents living near the bump are subjected to loud, jarring noise every time a car goes over it. • Despite multiple complaints, management has refused to remove or adjust it. We are calling on Gary Cane to step in and help resolve this issue. We also ask that you liaise with the on-site manager, Abdul Aziz, who has mentioned concerns about his own working conditions — including being underpaid and not compensated for overtime. This matter is urgent, and we are requesting a full review and a direct response. The safety and well-being of residents is important.

Terry Peters

Terry Peters, is one of the many reasons why pbm has got such a bad name for them selves. She never returns calls, emails or passes messages on. I've had an on going issue now for over a year now! Which I want to see proof of the work they have carried out. They charge you Extreme service charges, but when you ask for proof, they dely you. I've just been told by terry she doesn't work on my block no more? Honestly pbm property management is so disappointing!

Trying to hide their failures

Wrote quite a lengthy google review detailing my experiences with PBM. They appear to do basically nothing for the amount you pay them, and I would guess internally they’re not much better as they managed to forward me internal call stats meant for their staff. Their new tactic is deleting their google business page to hide the ever increasing list of horrible reviews to try and protect their image. Unfortunately now it just makes our block look likes it’s managed by a company that can’t even maintain a proper business online presence.

Horrible property management company!!

Horrible property management company!! Would have given a negative rating if possible, very common problem in the building they manage with lifts and fake fire alarms going out every now & then. The most recent is no water in the entire building since Friday 4th July 11am. Almost 190 families are devoid from the most basic necessity WATER. Actions which PBM should have taken on Friday itself were delayed until yesterday and there is no hope of water returning to our taps until tomorrow 9th July. Its chaotic, cant write much of how poorly PBM is managing this building in Croydon.

So far so very good.

PBM have been our PMs for a little more than two months now and have guided us and supported us through desperate times. We have been left in an appalling financial mess by our previous MA and both Anna Scott and Sunny Hunt and their team at PBM have done everything possible to help us. Long may it continue.

Have you seen Ashley?

I've been trying to contact Ashley, the manager of Beaumont court for 2 weeks now. I left messages, and I begged 3 different receptionists to contact her. Nothing!

Excellent property management firm

We are working collaboratively with PBM on a number of projects and find them to be one of the best property management firms we deal with. They are proactive in dealing with any arising matters and go above and beyond where required.

After suffering many management agents at our block, finally we have one that’s reliable and actually cares about where we live. Thank you PBM - you have a great team - such a breath of fresh air!

Amelia was super helpful!

There were some issues regarding getting notifications as a resident when parcels arrive and other development updates. I struggled to get support for a few months and then Amelia from PBM got involved and managed to solve the issue really quickly! Thanks so much for the help Amelia.

PBM are only interested in extracting…

PBM are only interested in extracting as much money as they can. Since recently taking over WV12 they have hiked the service charge by 20%, double that of the current inflation rate. On selling the flat they charged circa £650 for the leasehold document. Even my solicitor was shocked and said he had never seen a fee that high. I phoned to complain about how high the fee was, no response, as person was "busy" and would call me back, that didn't happen and no response to a written complaint either. Level of service has gone down and i fear for the remaining residents over the next rise in the service charge

Worst of the worst

Upon moving in my bedroom window has been broken (since 6th September) and nobody is bothering to get back to me about getting it fixed. To the point I’m having to sleep on my sofa as my bedroom is too cold. I’m constantly being promised that someone will call me back. Today I come home to find my Christmas wreath on my door has been confiscated? Lol. And they have disposed of my wreath…. So what are they going to do, give me money for something I have brought!! Ridiculous. I have Domestic Violence files open and I asked sage if I could pay extra rent/service charge of whatever so that I can get a parking space in the underground carpark however no, they don’t care because I’m a council scum. So I’m getting a parking ticket everyday to ensure I get home safely Honestly I feel like I have made a massive mistake with Sage being my housing association.

PBM OneSe8

OneSe8, London. PBM is arguably the worst property manager ever. Concierge staff spleeping on duty, watching football, laughing loud, totally untrained. Any employees with this behaviour would be sacked. Not at PBM. There are so many poor episodes to tell that a book could be issued. Last of many the water supply issue that affected many buildings. You can read details in the previous reviews
