Guild Members commended for excellent service at awards

Offices from around the UK were commended for their exceptional performance at the Guild of Property Professionals – previously known at the Guild of Professional Estate Agents - gala dinner and annual awards, which was held at The Vox conference centre in Birmingham on Friday 27 January. 

The awards were presented after a full day at the Guild’s annual conference, where the company’s new brand was revealed. This is the biggest change in fifteen years, and includes changing the company name from the Guild of Professional Estate Agents to the Guild of Property Professionals, as well as a new look. 

The awards ceremony was once again sponsored by The Telegraph, who commented said: “As the UK's best-selling quality daily newspaper, The Telegraph is looked to by its readers as a trusted source of expertise. It is therefore fitting that we are able to celebrate excellence in the property industry by sponsoring the awards ceremony at the Guild of Property Professionals." 

The awards were presented by Marcus Whewell, CEO of the Guild, and property TV presenter Melissa Porter. 

The prestigious ‘Best National Guild Member’ award was given to Victorstone Property Consultants, which has offices across London. Scott Hailou, Area Director of Victorstone, said: “This is a very proud moment. We sincerely appreciate our staff’s excellent performance, participation and promotion of the Guild. Our business has not only benefited from their diligent work, but they have now set a benchmark in a nationally recognised network within our industry.” 

The Gold Lettings Award was given to Bassets Estate Agents. Quentin Thatcher, Head of Bassets Lettings, said: “To win the Gold Award for Best Lettings Agent for the second consecutive year is an outstanding achievement for all of us at Bassets. We are honoured to be recognised for our hard work and dedication at a national level. I’d personally like to thank my team for always striving to go above and beyond what is expected to enable us to provide our clients with an exceptional, personable service.”

As competition for the lettings category was so fierce this year, a Silver Award for Lettings was introduced, which was given to Sawyer & Co. 

Awards were given to the best Guild Member in each region of the country as follows:

• North West - Logic Estates

• Midlands - Bentons

• Wales - Williams and Goodwin

• East Anglia - Thomas Morris Estate Agents

• South East – Sawyer & Co

• South – Seymours Estates

• South West - Sawdye and Harris

• North East - Next2Buy

• Home Counties – Oasis Estate Agents 

• London - Victorstone Property Consultants 

Marcus Whewell, CEO of the Guild of Property Professionals, said: “Once again, I am very grateful for the wonderful support of our estate agency members, guest speakers and partners for our annual conference. The market is unpredictable, but the opportunity to the share ideas and opportunities is a key benefit of being part of such a prestigious network. 

“We are proud that The Telegraph have sponsored our awards for the second year running. We received a fantastic breadth and quality of entries, and our congratulations go to all the worthy winners, especially Victorstone Property Consultants and Bassets Estate Agents, who were announced as best overall estate and letting agents of the year respectively.”

Roger Coupe is an extremely professional estate agent. We worked with James (and Edward) who were just fantastic. James handled our house purchase with such reassurance that we knew we were in safe hands. The communication was great and responsive throughout. Any concerns or questions were dealt with swiftly. I would have no hesitate in recommending Roger Coupe as the 'go to' estate agent, whether you are purchasing or selling. Thank you James!

The team at Roger Coupe were fantastic. James was notably first-class, doing all that he could to ensure our tricky chain moved in the right direction. If we ever came to buy or sell again, we wouldn't look elsewhere but Roger Coupe.

I highly recommend Roger Coupe, as a thoroughly excellent estate agent. They were responsive, polite and friendly throughout our house purchase saga, and frankly we felt very supported and in good hands! Thank you so much to Edward and the whole team.

Edward and team were great in helping us secure our new property and help us move from offer to exchange in 6 weeks. Always on hand to push the seller and their solicitor to speed up the process. Thank-you.
