It's Official! Holden Estate Agents Are One of The Best Estate Agents in The Country!

We have been awarded the top gold award and have been graded as exceptional in The Best Estate Agent Guide 2022.

The Best Estate Agent Guide is a website that provides an independent reference for sellers, who can search for the best sales and lettings agency offices in their area.

The website is compiled by The Property Academy (an organisation that works with agents to improve service standards in the property industry), with the support of Rightmove, the UK's leading property portal.

There are c. 15,000 estate agents in the country and Holden Estate Agents was among this year's award winners, confirming them to be one of the very best estate agents in the country.

Over 3 billion data points were analysed in the search for this year's top performers - the biggest assessment of any industry. The awards are made for property marketing, customer service and results - which consumers consider to be among the most important criteria when selecting which agent to sell or let their property.

Peter King, founder of the Property Academy commented: "We set out to provide the home mover with a reliable resource to help identify the best estate agent in each area, whether someone is looking to sell or let a property. Only the very best branches make it into the Best Estate Agent Guide and only the very best agencies have been recognised with an award."

Phil Cumbers, director of Holden Estate Agents said "These awards follow a rigorous and independent assessment and we are thrilled to have been recognised as one of the best in the country".

If you want to move in 2026, positioning yourself as a serious buyer is essential. Here’s how to put yourself ahead of the competition and be taken seriously by sellers.

Every year we hear the same advice: “Launch on Boxing Day – that’s when everyone’s online.” While it sounds sensible, it rarely works in a seller’s favour. In reality, timing is just as important as price and presentation, and a Boxing Day launch often costs you momentum rather than creating it.

When it comes to selling your home, numbers matter — but not the ones you might expect. Instruction levels can be misleading. What really counts is how many homes reach sale agreed, and how consistently an agent delivers results.

The recent news of the Bank of England's decision to reduce the base rate to 3.75% is certainly a talking point for homeowners and prospective buyers. It's important to approach this development with a balanced perspective.
