Shropshire agents nominated for UK-wide award

A Midlands estate agency is homing in on national recognition after progressing to the final stages of a prestigious competition that aims to acknowledge the highest levels of achievement in the property industry.

Shropshire-based Nock Deighton has been named as a finalist in the Estate Agency category at the upcoming UK Property Awards, a long-standing event open to entries from residential and commercial property professionals.

The firm, which has continued to post strong sales figures despite the challenging state of the housing market, is now eagerly anticipating the next stage of the contest, with UK winners set to be announced at a gala ceremony to be held on October 28th at the luxurious Lancaster Hotel in London.

Victors in each of the 21 separate categories will also progress to the International Property Awards, where they will compete against the best regional entrants from the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, and Arabia in a bid to be crowned the overall champions.

“To reach the final of such a prestigious event is recognition itself, but we have high hopes to go even further,” Michael Evans, Managing Director of Nock Deighton, commented. “The judging panel has already been impressed by the diverse nature of properties in our portfolio and the glowing testimonials from our clients, and it’s now a case of keeping our fingers crossed for the awards ceremony in a couple of weeks.”

Michael Nettleton, Director of Nock Deighton, added: “This accolade comes only a few weeks after our lettings division was shortlisted for both ‘Best Block Management’ and ‘Best Small Midlands Lettings Agency’ at the Lettings Agency of the Year Awards. To be consistently recognised by our peers in such a way is testament to the exceptional standards of service delivered by our staff, and I’d like to thank them all for their continued hard work.”
