“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.”
We've been using VDBM for over a decade now. Excellent service and quality advice for commercial lettings, sales and surveying. Highly recommended.
Just want to say a few words about VDBM. I was in need of sound and professional advice about some properties owned by our family.
From the outset, it was clear VDBM have an impressive depth of knowledge, give meticulous attention to detail, and a level of professionalism that set them apart from similar firms in this area. Throughout the project, their communication was clear and timely, and their advice consistently sound and practical. Every stage—whether initial consultation, valuation, reporting or follow-up—was handled with care, competence and integrity.
I would have no hesitation in recommending VDBM to anyone seeking highly capable, reliable, and trustworthy Chartered Surveyors. I found their commitment to quality and client satisfaction was evident in every aspect of their work.
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.
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.
Thank you so much for the advice with our most recent purchase. Your professionalism and prompt responses were really appreciated - we would happily use your services again.
Thanks to Neil Altman and his team for help with my partners family commercial properties. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended!
