My partner and I had the worst renting experience renting with these guys, unfortunately. First, when we were moving in, the furniture was terrible, so we stored all the terrible furniture in the cupboards because the landlord/lady did not want to get rid of it - that occupied so much space unecessarily, but all good. Second, we asked if we could upgrade the bed to a super king size, at our own expense. The landlord/lady only agreed to that if we disposed of the previous bed at a cost of £150, which we did because we could not sleep well using the regular bed. Expensive, but all good. Third, when we were leaving the flat at the end of our tenancy, the landlord/lady (had the audacity to) ask if we wanted to sell them the bed we acquired, despite the whole conversation at the beginning of the tenancy about the bed, and the amount we had to pay to get rid of that cheap piece of furniture. We politely refused out of principle. Fourth, at the end of the tenancy, we were told that we had never used our comfort cooling system. For an entire year, we were not told or given written information that we had pre-paid meters for a cooling system at the Keybridge development (SW8). We were told about hot water, not about the cooling system. We essentially lived in an embarrassing oven for one year even though the property had aircon, because these property managers did not know anything about the property. Fifth, when leaving the property, we were charged £75 for a tiny chip at our induction hob, and £75 for a tiny chip at our sink (neither were very visible or impeded the items from working fantastically). Sixth, when we were leaving the property, the estate agents asked if we wanted to be put in contact with the next tenant, as the tenant wanted more information about the flat. Since we wanted to be in good terms with them to see our deposit back, we kindly agreed to this, which was a stupid mistake from our end - the new tenant was rude, kept trying to take money from us after we left, saying that the end-of-tenancy cleaning was not up to a high standard (even though the service had a 24hr warranty on this, which we informed the estate agents of). Honestly, I've been living in London for 10 years, and this was the messiest rental I had to deal with. Even though Julie and Zoe were incredibly nice and patient with me and my partner, it definitely felt like their company did not have the necessary skills to mediate conflict, or to negotiate on behalf of the tenants, since all decisions made favoured their landlords. One clear example of when they could have done better: they would simply forward part of messages written by the landlord/lady communicating harsh decisions (about the bed, for example), without editing the content for politeness. You want to convince someone about something even though they're being treated terribly by their landlords, at least make it look nice, please. I would never recommend doing business with these guys.

First time buyer, found the property through Rightmove - PS&P were very accommodating, allowing us a couple of viewings and were then very helpful when we started the purchase process! The fairest estate agent we spoke to during the whole process, felt like they were trying to represent both us as buyer in addition to the seller (who is paying them ultimately!) Overall took some of the stress out of buying and everyone we spoke to was very friendly!

We first came across Petty Son and Prestwich on a viewing. After what had been a disastrous year and experience for us trying to sell our property, we immediately loved Catherine! Her warmth friendliness and professionalism was nothing like we had come across in the market. We could really sense her passion for what she does and the fact she genuinely cared about us and wanted the best for us. We did not hesitate in appointing PS&P to sell our property for us which was done swiftly and smoothly, all in a professional way - there were no issues encounters and this really made our busy lives stress free and the experience enjoyable. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to sell or purchase!
