Earlier this year we were told we'd been named among the Best in the Business by the Best Estate Agent Guide 2027 — an Excellent rating for Sales. Last week we headed down to London to collect it in person at EA Masters 2026.
For an independent agency that only opened its doors in 2023, standing in a room full of the UK's best-performing estate agents and walking out with a framed award is a proper moment. One I didn't quite expect to have this soon.
What the Award Actually Means
The Best Estate Agent Guide is produced by the Property Academy in partnership with OnTheMarket and TwentyEA. It assesses over 25,000 UK estate agency offices each year using real sales performance data — not opinions, not pay-to-play, not a popularity contest. They look at how quickly agents sell, how close to asking price they achieve, how they manage the process through to completion, and the quality of the customer journey.
Only the top-scoring offices earn an Excellent rating. If you want the full detail of what that assessment covers, we wrote about it when the announcement first came through in May — read the original piece here.
A Thank You
None of this happens without clients trusting us with their move. Every valuation, every open day, every awkward phone call to a solicitor — it all adds up to the numbers that get benchmarked. Thank you to everyone who has sold with us, bought through us, or simply picked up the phone for honest advice over the last three years. This award is yours as much as ours.
Thanks also to the team behind the scenes, to the local tradespeople and solicitors who make completions happen, and to Chorley — the town that gave us a chance when we were new.
What's Next
Awards are nice. Winning the next one by actually getting better matters more. We've got a few things in the pipeline for 2027 — growing the team, settling in properly at the new Queen's Road office, and keeping the standard where it needs to be. One agent per client, one sale at a time.
If you're thinking of moving in 2027 and want to see what the fuss is about — book a free valuation or call 01257 781 557. Kettle's on.
