GoogleI have known Simon Caplin for a number of years and dealt with him via his Auction department. I placed a property for auction with Simon that was a complex package. We worked together on all pre auction aspects ie planning,legal pack,the required notices etc were all in place ready for the auction day. Simon gave invaluable advice to ensure we had covered everything so i was confident of a good result. At the auction there were several interested parties and i was reassured by this. As bidding commenced the figure rose quickly then it flatlined at about 75% of the guide price. Undeterred ,Simon quickly reminded the audience of the key features and future potential which seemed to reignite the bidding. I am delighted to say the final figure was exactly the one we were hoping to achieve. I would also mention that i have passed on Simon's details to others who have also been impressed with his very professional service and wealth of property knowledge. If you ever need any advice regarding the sale of your property please call him for an honest opinion and he will advise you if auction or open market is the correct way to go. Alan Packham

GoogleWould give zero stars if I could. 18 months of leaking roof at leasehold property. Property managers delay and delay action, constantly have to call and email but they don’t return your calls or emails. On my last Google review I was offered a reply stating to contact the company director, with his email address provided. Have copied him and another manager into recent emails detailing numerous problems over the last 18 months and have had ZERO response from anyone. Also at no point when I have made multiple complaints to staff, has anyone informed me there is a formal complaints procedure that can be followed ( info of which they will email you but ONLY if you ask, they never offered this up). Once this has gone through their formal complaints process, if not happy, I can complain to the property ombudsman and Property Mark. I would never ever buy a property that is managed by this company again.
Agent replied · 22 October 2024
Hello CM, please contact me direct michaelb@psandb.co.uk. I have not seen an email from you, if you have sent one and i have missed it i apologize. The complaints process is detailed on the PS&B website as part of our commitment to be open and transparent, this is easy to access and details the process of progression through the process to our Ombudsman if required. If you need support contact me and i will contact you directly. Kind Regards Michael Barber Chief Operations Officer

GoogleWe purchased a property at Auction through Simon. This was our first Auction so to be honest felt alien to us. I shouldn't have had any worries because Simon and Adrian were there every step of the way, going the extra mile. Simon is very knowlegeable in all aspects from start to finish and rest assured he will iron out any questions or concerns how ever small this could be. He is always there at the end of the phone, and gets back to you asap. (most important) So I will definitely be buying our next property at Auction without any hesitation what so ever. If you are in the position to buy at Auction do it and you're think why didn't I do it before.

GoogleBeen absolutely BEGGING for black mould to be removed in communal areas for 7 months as we have severe allergies. We have been assured several times that it will be taken care of then it’s ignored. Our roofs have been leaking for nearly two years. Zero communication or care for their tenants health. Upsetting to say the least as we take pride on our home and building.

GooglePSB are the worst property management company I have ever dealt with. They took over our block of flats from Graves Jenkins. It was excuse after excuse for not paying invoices and the service was non existent. I still receiving invoices two years later for electricity which wasn’t paid for years. The accountant they used also hadn’t been paid for over two years. Trying to get any sort of handover for my new management company was impossible and I am still discovering things that were just not actioned at the time. A truly awful company and I would strongly recommend you don’t use them.
