Adding a “No Results Found” to a search filter output page

Having a bit of a mare with a custom template.
I have a filter which works well, unfortunately when it yields no results there's no indication that no results have been found. Im trying to display "No results found" when there's nothing to show...
I'm under the impression that the answer is going to be something along the lines of adding this to the end of the hook

<?php else : ?>
<p>There are no results</p>
<?php endif ?>

My php knowledge is minimal, stubbornly i've spent approx 2 days trying to fix after reading upon others solutions with no luck, i'm wondering if someone could shed a little light or if it can even be achieved.

Here's the current code.............

<?php if (!defined('ABSPATH')) die('No direct access allowed'); ?>
<?php
wp_enqueue_style('my_kitchensnew3', get_template_directory_uri() . 'css/bootstrap.min.css');
wp_enqueue_style('my_kitchensnew3-1', get_template_directory_uri() . 'css/styles.css');
global $mdf_loop;
$zoom = 3;

if (isset($_REQUEST['meta_data_filter_args']['tax_query']))
{
$taxes = $_REQUEST['meta_data_filter_args']['tax_query'];
if (!empty($taxes))
{
foreach ($taxes as $value)
{
if (isset($value['taxonomy']) AND $value['taxonomy'] == 'locations')
{
$zoom = 11;
break;
}
}
}
}


echo do_shortcode('[mdf_gmap height="300" width="100" zoom="' . $zoom . '" maptype="TERRAIN" metakey="medafi_map"]');
echo '<br />';
MDTF_SORT_PANEL::mdtf_catalog_ordering();
?>

<div class="row previews">
<?php
while ($mdf_loop->have_posts()) : $mdf_loop->the_post();
?>
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="thumbnail">
<?php
if (has_post_thumbnail($post->ID))
{
echo '<a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '" title="' . esc_attr($post->post_title) . '">';
echo '<img src="' . MDTF_HELPER::get_post_featured_image($post->ID, '350x300') . '" alt="" />';
echo '</a>';
}
?>

<div class="heart11"><p style="text-align: right;">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[favorite_button post_id="" site_id=""]') ?>
</p></div>

<div class="caption" style="max-height: 650px; text-align: left">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_title() ?></a></h3>




<br />

<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</div>

Thanks in advance
