David is one of the agent I have dealt with on my purchase of property and he is in my opinion one of the best in the neighbourhood.

He is friendly and helpful and I would recommend to anyone I know.

This tenant subsequently left the property in a dreadful state and with arrears on his account. We had to have the property professionally cleaned and cleared of the mess that was left. We claimed the full deposit as compensation for our landlord. This was not contested by the tenant. ...

As a landlord, I have let my Watford properties through McDonald & Lloyd for the past 9 years. They currently manage 10 properties for me. The quality of the tenants they've provided me with has been mostly excellent, and whenever one gives notice to leave, they have another ...

I'm a director of a property company in Watford, and have used the services of McDonald & Lloyd since 2003; buying, selling and letting property with them, so it's fair to say I'm well placed to comment on their capabilities! I can honestly say that I have ...

We rented a property from this agency in 2012. Not once was the experience a positive one. The house itself was reasonable but with a few issues that we discovered on moving in. On requesting assistance with these issues, the landlord was protected even though promises ...

Difficult to comment on this review as it's anonymous and refers to a tenancy that (I assume) ended in 2013, But I have a suspicion who has posted it and will leave it at that! All I can say is that all maintenance issues raised by tenants are treated seriously and we would never employ a contractor to repair a problem 'cheaply'. It's not in our interests or those of our client, the landlord. I think that the fact the reviewer mentions that we were 'agreeable' to replacing them with new tenants ...

An anonymous e-mail which also fails to specify the property this 'tenant' rented, giving us no way of responding. And why is this 'tenant' giving advice on selling a property? Strange, and frankly suspicious, review. ...

Following the death of my father, my husband and I decided to move and the "friendly" local estate agent that we had used previously seemed the natural choice to market the property. However, this time was different. I was bullied, harassed and manipulated into selling ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
In all honesty, I could never trust this agent again. Their behaviour, in my opinion, 'crossed a line' and certainly nearly destroyed us at a time when we were really trying to 'hold it together'. We are writing this review because we would like others to know that there is another side to this agent if they are dealing with vulnerable people and so to have the opportunity to make an informed decision about whether or not to do business with them.

On behalf of McDonald & Lloyd, I totally refute all accusations made by Never Again. This was a rather unpleasant and sad end to a professional relationship in which we had acted for the client and her husband on 3 previous occasions, so one could fairly assume they had been happy with the service we'd provided. This case was referred to The Property Ombudsman (TPO) in 2011 (the only occasion we have ever been investigated by them) and an award made by the TPO which the client refused to accept. ...
