The staff were involved remotely in an event which announced the results of this year’s Best Estate Agent Guide Awards which were held in London – and competition was stiff.

For more than 15,000 estate agencies were included in the assessment, which is conducted by Property Academy, supported by the UK’s leading property portal, Rightmove.

Each office is scored against a unique set of criteria looking at property marketing, customer service and results – which are determined following a survey of 30,000 buyers, sellers, landlords and renters.

There follows a whole of market assessment, using a combination of data analysis, mystery shopping and a website review to identify the best agencies in the country.
