Trustpilot“I was their tenant for several years
“I was their tenant for several years, and Neil Altman was always very helpful. I leased the building for my fitness studio, and what I appreciated most was that Neil, as the owner of the company, is old-school, he keeps his word. That’s something the new generation often lacks. I hope he continues this way, as I believe it’s an important legacy.”
Thank you. We are very proud of our repuation!

TrustpilotExcellent expertise
The team at VDBM were, during the time we engaged with them, totally professional. We felt confident and reassured by their service. They gave us solid advice, were easy to talk to and listened to our suggestions. Most recently we were delighted with their handling of the sale of our commercial/residential property. In particular we were impressed with their negotiation skills on our behalf to ensure we gained a good price. We would like to thank both Toby and Neil for their patience, expertise and hard work.
Thank you Stephen. It was a real pleasure to work with you . VDBM

I am a commercial property solicitor and dealt with Toby Woodward. The transaction proceeded very, very smoothly. I can certainly recommend VDBM if you are in the need for a good firm of commercial property agents.
Thank you. Delighted to have worked with you. VDBM

GoogleHighly recommend. Special thank you to Toby, who handled all enquires, viewings etc for a new commercial leasehold with true professionalism. His communication and understanding was brilliant throughout, a sometimes very complex 7 months negotiation. Also his helpfulness was always of a kind manner, which was very much appreciated. Thank you again

Very disappointing handling of an ongoing property issue
We are sorry that you remain dissatisfied with the progress of this matter. However, we do not believe that this review gives a fair or accurate representation of the considerable steps VDBM has taken in response to the concerns you have raised. Over an extended period, VDBM has responded to your correspondence and attended the property on multiple occasions to investigate the reported tobacco odour. We have also arranged for independent professional surveyors to attend and investigate the matter which, as you are aware were due the day after you decided to post this review. Our client, the Freeholder will consider the findings of that report once it is received. We take concerns raised by residents seriously and will always investigate matters which fall within our responsibilities as managing agents. We can however only respond on instructions from the Freeholder. We therefore disagree with the suggestion that this matter has not been properly investigated or that VDBM has failed to respond appropriately. VDBM’s handling of the alleged smell of smoke has been exonerated by Environmental Heath, the Fire Service, and The Property Redress Scheme to whom you have previously complained . As these bodies have said , we cannot stop someone smoking in their flat . We therefore have to find a way of dealing with this whilst complying with our duties as managing agents with regards to the service charge expenditure which could affect all of the leaseholders if this turns out to be a service charge matter. We and our client remain willing to consider any new substantive evidence relating to the matter should this become available.

TrustpilotNeil Altman and VDBM
Neil Altman has been looking after our commercial properties for over 20 years. The service an professionalism we have received throughout this period has been excellent and I thoroughly recommend VDBM as a company.

GoogleI used VDBM to sell a commercial property. Richard Morgan at VDMB guided me step by step throughout the process - from lease assignment to the sale of the property. I highly recommend Richard Morgan as he showed patience and conduct through a very stretched deal and the communication was brilliant as I was kept informed every step of the way. He was extremely knowledgeable, efficient and professional and offered great advice throughout. Thank you for your service. I would highly recommend them.

TrustpilotDefinitely Recommend Neil Altman & VDBM
We have used Neil Altman for over 10 years but this was the biggest job we have given him; the valuation of 5 commercial units in London. The report he produced was very thorough, he identified issues I had missed and overall I was extremely pleased with his work. I can definitely recommend him and his company for both commercial and residential.

GoogleWe have worked with Neil and Nick at VDBM for several years now and have found their services and advice vital to our business. We mostly work with Nick who is extremely efficient and handles all of our cases in a professional manner dealing with our Party wall issues and Section 20 matters. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

GoogleMy company, Carpetstyle Ltd have worked closely with Neil and Sarah from VDBM on several projects very successfully without any undue delays or signs of laziness from any member of staff. We recently had cause to close our Watford store and called on their Surveying services to fight a ridiculous Dilapidation bill of £46,000 from Watford council, this resulted in an agreed settlement of £660.00 Superb performance at very short notice, extremely satisfied customer..
