Raising the bar for consistent property management and sales services, these accolades will go a long way in reassuring those going through the house buying and selling process that the Manchester-based agency is well positioned to provide best-in-class service. 

The Gold award for Lettings highlights Julian Wadden's top-tier services for both landlords and tenants, with its latest award spotlighting the agency’s managed services as a premium offering within the industry. 

Founded in 2017 to raise service standards across the property industry, the Best Estate Agent Guide Awards are based on an independent annual assessment and ranking of over 13,080 UK estate and letting agencies, making it the most comprehensive review of its kind. 

Run in association with the Property Academy, the Guide judges agents on what matters most to buyers, sellers, renters and landlords, including the proportion of properties successfully sold or let, how quickly and at what price, and customer feedback, with each agency benchmarked against its own local market. 

Matthew Smith, Managing Director of Julian Wadden and Thornley Groves, said: “Securing two major awards for our Sales and Lettings services is a fantastic achievement and something we are incredibly proud of at Julian Wadden. Manchester carries many different property landscapes within the city and we can say confidently that our team work extremely hard to know each of those markets inside and out to give our clients the best possible service. 

“What makes the recognition particularly meaningful is knowing that this reflects the experience we are delivering for our customers every day. Buying, selling or renting a home is a major moment in people's lives, and our teams care deeply about making that experience as positive as possible. We are delighted to see those efforts recognised on a national stage.” 

Julian Wadden is one of ten brands within Lomond’s national network to secure recognition in the 2027 Guide, with the group collectively achieving 13 Golds, two Silvers and two national titles. 

The Best Estate Agent Guide is updated annually to help sellers, buyers, renters and landlords find the best agents in their area. The all-market assessment draws on property market data from TwentyEA. OnTheMarket is Principal Partner of the Best Estate Agent Guide. For more information, visit bestestateagentguide.co.uk.
