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.

This company needs auditing…

This company needs auditing…. No transparency on accounts as they simply will not share detailed accounts. They demand more money each year and they do even less for that money, where is the money being filtered to? They make your property unsaleable, nobody will buy when fees are £4500 a year and rising. So much for caring for your property as if it was their own!!! More property managers than channel boats. They ignore their emails and all promises to call back by the end of the day. The promises made on PBM’s website should have earned the Booker Prize for fiction writing, when will the government step in!?!?

PBM Experience

I am a tenant in one of the building(Centillion Point) managed by PBM. I think they are the worst service Provider. Our building has multiple security failures which needs to be fixed. Fire alarm in our building rings every alternate days and fire alarm monitoring device which shows which floor has the issue does not work properly and poor fire marshalls had to run every floor in the building to see where is the fault. God Forbidden if such incident happens in real ,they have no shame or concern to fix it. Parking gate in building is remote controlled it gets stuck in mid sometime and it has been months they have not fixed it, looks like they are waiting for accident to happen? They have ripped apart entire wooden flaps on the reception area in name of fire hazard but have not installed any fix on it and there is no timeline to do it. they are always working on it and it takes years and years to do anything. Constant water leakage on top of the lock sensor and no solution. PBM is a fraud company charges high maintenance fee from the leaseholders and doesn't spend a penny back to maintain the building. If anyone in authorities reading please audit all the buildings managed by this company and take a serious action against them.

I think the positive reviews must be fake - PBM are negligent and do not manage the properties on their books. They are a money grabbing company with absolutely no scruples. They do not pay their contractors or delay payments. They ignore repair requests and do not always comply with safety regulations (fail to renew safety check contracts etc). All in all they should be struck off any and every register they are on. Avoid at all costs…
