We’re proud to announce that Holden Estate Agents has been awarded Bronze at the 2025 ESTAS Awards, an achievement that highlights our unwavering focus on exceptional customer care and genuine client relationship

We’re delighted to share that Holden Estate Agents has been awarded Bronze at the 2025 ESTAS Awards, hosted by property expert Phil Spencer.




The ESTAS are one of the UK’s most respected awards in the property industry – and what makes them special is that they’re judged entirely on client feedback. Every rating and review comes directly from the people who have bought, sold or let through us, making this recognition especially meaningful.

Why This Matters to Us

For us, this award isn’t about the trophy – it’s about what it represents. Moving home is one of life’s biggest milestones, and our aim has always been to make that experience as smooth, personal and positive as possible.

To be recognised at a national level, purely because of the feedback from our clients here in Maldon and the surrounding villages, means the world to our team. It tells us that our approach – honest advice, proactive updates and genuine care – really does make a difference.

Our Approach

As a truly independent, locally owned agency, our strength lies in knowing our area inside out – from homes around Promenade Park and Maldon High Street to the villages beyond.

We don’t rely on scripts or gimmicks. Instead, we focus on clear communication, realistic advice and hands-on service. Whether it’s chasing solicitors, keeping clients updated, or simply being at the other end of the phone, our goal is always the same – to make every move feel a little easier.

A Huge Thank You

This award belongs as much to our clients as it does to our team. Your reviews, feedback and trust drive everything we do. We’re proud to be recognised for both our results and the way we treat people along the way.

Looking Ahead

Winning Bronze at the ESTAS has only strengthened our commitment to doing things properly – with care, integrity and local expertise. Whether you’re buying your first home, upsizing, downsizing or relocating to Maldon, we’d love to help.

Pop into our office, give us a call, or drop us a message – and discover why Holden Estate Agents continues to be one of the most trusted names in the CM9 area.

More homes are competing for buyer attention, so sellers need more than a hopeful asking price. A smart launch, realistic valuation and strong presentation can help attract serious interest.

On 16 October the ESTAS awards will take place, and Phil has had a personal nomination for a 2026 peoples award.

May is a key month for sellers, but more homes are competing for attention. If you are thinking of moving this spring, here is how the current market is shaping buyer behaviour and what helps a home stand out.

The rental market remains active in May 2026, but conditions are changing. Demand is still strong, rent growth has eased, and tenant expectations are rising. Here is what landlords should be thinking about now.
