Hear what people say about working with LDB
Kevin Saunders2 July 2023My wife and I have been retired for over 25 years. LDB have managed our modest Super fund for all of those years. Bruce and his staff have been wonderful with their advice and professional expertise in tax and Centrelink matters. We highly recommend this company.Luke Fuller21 May 2023LDB Property Pty Ltd lacks any accountability or competent management. After being told by one of their employees that we wouldn’t be charged a late fee (despite paying 6 months of owner’s corporation fees upfront) , they charged us a late fee and then denied they ever said it. I tried to contact their management but they wouldn’t return calls including the managing director Owen Day. This is a weak organisation with zero accountability and they are unable to even communicate with people. If you want a property services firm that does what they say with competent management- look elsewhere.Evin Donohoe11 April 2023LDB have been helping us out with the finances and compliance for our games company for a few years now. We feel great every time we speak to them, and are ever thankful for their professionalism, insights, suggestions, and knowledge. I recommend them very highly.Christine G7 March 2023Very professional and organised property managers. Communication is great. I highly recommend them.lee Opster2 March 2023LDB Property provide a professional and high standard service.
