Holden Estate Agents Shortlisted at The ESTAS 2026

This Friday, 16th October, the Holden team will be swapping Maldon for London as we attend The ESTAS, the UK’s leading awards for customer service in estate agency.

We’re thrilled to have been shortlisted for Best Estate Agent in the South East (Essex), one of the most competitive categories of the night. On top of that, we’ll be collecting our Best in Postcode award for CM9, recognising us as the top-rated agent in our area.

Why these awards matter to us

The ESTAS are unlike many industry awards because they’re driven by real customer feedback. Every review left by a buyer, seller, landlord or tenant counts towards the results. Being recognised again is a real reflection of the people we’ve helped move home, and we couldn’t be prouder.
As an established local agent in Maldon, we’ve always believed that great service is what sets an agent apart. Whether you’re selling your first flat or your family home, our aim is the same: honest advice, clear communication and a team who genuinely care about getting you moved.

A big thank you

To everyone who has taken the time to leave us a review, thank you. These awards belong to you as much as to us.

Office closure

Our Maldon office will be closed on Friday 16th October while we attend the ceremony. We’ll be back on Saturday as normal. In the meantime, feel free to email us or leave a message, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we return.

Keep an eye on our socials on Friday night to find out how we get on. Fingers crossed! 🤞


Get in touch with us

Buyers have plenty to compare this autumn, which makes the way a home enters the market increasingly important. A strong first impression, realistic price and thoughtful presentation can all help attract the right attention.

A new government scheme could help first-time buyers purchase with a deposit of just 2.5%. With more details expected at the October Budget, here’s what prospective buyers need to know.

In a changing market, accurate advice matters. In CM9, no agent listed more homes than Holden — and Holden agreed the most sales with the lowest reduction rate among the top five agents. Thinking of selling or switching? Trust local. Trust Holden.

A fresh coat of paint can help, but missing paperwork can delay a sale for months. Use August to prepare the information buyers and solicitors will need before an offer is agreed.
