A letting agent has been named the best in its county after winning five awards at a national property industry event.

Swindon Home Finders, based in Old Town, received the accolades at The ESTAS Awards, including Best in County (Wiltshire) in the Sales & Lettings (Landlords & Tenants) category.

The awards are based on customer reviews and are widely regarded as one of the most respected honours in the UK property sector.

Sue Gidney, managing director of Swindon Home Finders, said: "We are so proud to win the Best in County at The ESTAS awards.

"It’s an incredibly competitive category and I couldn’t be prouder of our team, without whom we wouldn’t be collecting this prestigious award.

"These awards are particularly important because they’re based on client reviews and only award businesses who come highly recommended.

"To be recognised, let alone win, is a great achievement."

The ESTAS Awards celebrate customer service excellence in the property industry, with winners determined solely by feedback from clients.

Ms Gidney and her team attended the ceremony at Grosvenor House in London in October, where they were named finalists in several categories before securing five wins.

In addition to their county win, the agency also took home the Silver Award in the UK Grand Prix for Best Letting Agent in the UK (Tenants), an honour Ms Gidney described as the highlight of the evening.

She said: "To receive the Silver Grand Prix Award for Best Letting Agent in the UK, as voted for by tenants, is an exceptional achievement for our team.

"We’re incredibly proud to see their dedication recognised at this level.

"Knowing that this award comes from the people we help every day makes it all the more meaningful."

Swindon Home Finders also won gold in the Letting Agent Landlord category and silver in the Best Letting Agent (Tenant) Office in the UK category.

The company is a member of the Ethical Agent Network and specialises in lettings, sales, and property management across the Swindon area.

Sue Gidney added: "We were thrilled to be finalists in multiple categories this year.

"Going to the awards was a moment to take stock and reflect on the progress we’ve made this year and recognise how vital putting homeowners, tenants and home movers at the centre of everything we do is."
