The Guild sets the standard with numerous 2025 ESTAS Shortlistings

The Guild of Property Professionals has once again demonstrated the strength of its network, with over 80 Member offices winning 'Best in Postcode' awards for 2025. This success automatically shortlists these Members for regional and national awards, with the overall winners to be announced at the prestigious ESTAS Awards ceremony on 17th October 2025, at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London.

 

The ESTAS honours the best agents, conveyancers, and brokers in the UK based on verified customer reviews submitted via its online platform. This platform enables property professionals to showcase the high standards of customer service they deliver. Reviews can only be completed at the end of a property transaction, and a strict verification process ensures their authenticity. The regional and national winners will be announced at the 22nd annual ESTAS ceremony in October, hosted by renowned TV property expert Phil Spencer, before an audience of over 1,000 of the UK’s top property professionals.

 The Guild wins at The ESTAS 2023

Iain McKenzie, CEO of The Guild of Property Professionals, said: “We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all Guild Members shortlisted for a coveted ESTAS award this year. Their achievement is a testament to the exceptional quality of agents within our network. This success highlights how, with the support of The Guild, independent estate agents can thrive and compete effectively on a national platform, positively reflecting on the collective reputation of our proud network. Well done to all involved!”

 

In addition to competing for regional or national awards, all shortlisted Guild Members are also in contention for the ‘Best Guild Member Award,’ presented to the highest-scoring Guild office in The ESTAS competition. Furthermore, The Guild of Property Professionals itself has been honoured with a shortlisting in The Supplier Awards. This category recognises supplier firms that have delivered an outstanding customer experience - The Guild’s nomination once again highlights its ongoing commitment to excellence.

 

Simon Brown, Founder of The ESTAS Group, commented on the significance of these supplier recognitions: “It’s crucial to acknowledge suppliers who consistently provide exceptional service to the industry. We understand the diversity of products and services, and that different sectors require varying levels of support. That’s why The ESTAS Group not only names an overall Supplier of the Year but also highlights 'Best in Sector' suppliers, celebrating excellence across various specialisms.”

Customers Say

I can't speak more highly of the team at Homesearch. When I met Michael to discuss the sale of my home instantly from that meeting, I could tell how knowledgeable they were. From that moment until closing, everything went absolutely flawless. This experience of selling went without a hitch with them giving great tips on preparing my home for viewings. Thank you. I really appreciate all your help during this process. I highly recommend Homesearch to any person who is looking to sell their home or buy a new home.

Loretta Barrett, Seller

I started with two very well known real estates, but I hated it. I was simply another number to them and I didn't feel they were honest and transparent. With HomeSearch I felt comfortable that they were on my side and they were always available to help. The process is hard enough, so having a team who supports you can make such a difference. Highly recommend.

Arian Barvarz, Seller

The reason we chose Homesearch to sell our property was that we liked the straightforward, no-nonsense approach of both Anna and Michael. They gave an honest appraisal of our property and a clear idea of what we could expect to sell it for. In fact, the offer we accepted exceeded our expectations. The sale took longer than we would have liked, due to delays caused by the buyers' solicitor, but Michael was tenacious and must have worn his phone out keeping everyone informed of progress.

Nicola Watson, Seller

Homesearch are hands down the best agent I have ever worked with ! The team helped me in an extremely complex sale. Without the knowledge and experience of the whole team, my sale would not have completed. I dont normally write reviews, only when they are truly deserved. An exceptional team! Very kind and personable, reliable & trustworthy.

Leslie John, Seller

My experience with Homesearch is that they are professional, friendly and go above and beyond to ensure that something stressful like selling a house runs as smoothly and stress free as possible. They work hard to get the results and have kept me updated throughout the process. I honestly could not recommend them enough, they are easily the best company I’ve dealt with in the buying/selling houses field. And to top it all off, they always answer the phone in the most pleasant tone and always provide service with a smile.

Chanelle Hunte, Seller

Homesearch are PROFESSIONALS. I sold my property through Homesearch and I have not dealt with a more competent agency. Every single person  dealt with knew exactly what they were talking about and I can tell that they all have knowledge in the industry and were not just picked up from the street. From the get go I was impressed and I will certainly do business with them again.

Paul Hobbs, Seller

Many thanks Homesearch for locating professional corporate tenants for my property. I am very happy with your property management service as you always ensure that the tenants give the property back in good order at check out. Five Stars!

Maria Foran, Landlord

I have been absolutely delighted with the exceptional service I have received from Homesearch. They have removed all the stress & hassle of renting my property and dealt with all manner of situations I would have struggled with in such a professional & courteous manner. They give valuable unbiased advice with such a wealth of experience. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff, who are always friendly & helpful. Homesearch let and managed my property and I am very happy with their property management services, they are very knowledgeable.

Paula Carter, Landlord

Homesearch always do what they say they will do. They are efficient and raise any issues early and provide options to resolve them. Homesearch is very  easy to get hold of and talk to, no matter where I am in the world! My property is well looked after, regarding tradesmen, replacement of items swiftly etc. with the minimum of fuss.

David Connells, Landlord

From our first viewing right through to the present, Home Search were brilliant. They helped make the whole process quick and stress free and even now we are in and settled, they are still happy to assist us with any queries we may have. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Julie Maney

Home Search helped us move into our new flat smoothly and Tim was always happy to provide help to put our nerves at ease. Arranging a viewing was easy and Home Search were happy to open after hours for us to sign the paperwork. They were very helpful and often would offer to help! Having moved in we received a lovely card and they have always been swift in communicating with Usif we have any questions. Would recommend it.

Will Houghton

Michael and his team were simply amazing!! They helped us to find the perfect house, offering a nice and attentive service from the beginning through to the end. Thank you so much!! 5 stars service. Highly recommended!!!

Giordana Sicali

Very helpful and friendly staff. Tim, Michael and the team Made the whole renting experience easier.

Amol Sinare

I had a very difficult situation as I did not have a guarantor and my dad was earning enough but was not a homeowner. It took a about 3 weeks but Michael sorted it all out in the end and my dad became my guarantor. I got a lovely home and all the staff were very helpful including Paris, Zainab and Tim. Thank you all very much! Would recommend them to anyone

Misti Chakraborty

On behalf of myself, Noa & Niamh, we would like to start off by saying a massive thank you for the amazing service Home Search Ltd provided us with, especially highlighting the work of Clorissa. Within a week we were able to sign, seal and move into the property that we looked at, all down to Clorissa's prompt and effective work ethic, which allowed us a smooth transition from one property to another, without her, this move would not of been possible to have happened within the time stamp that it did. We are very grateful for the work that was done by Home Search Ltd, highly recommend.
