Following a record-breaking number of entries, Kivells are thrilled to have been shortlisted for the ‘Residential Auction Service of the Year’ and this year’s Negotiator Awards – the UK's leading and most prestigious independent awards programme, celebrating excellence within the estate and letting agent industry, 

Known for its unwavering commitment to fairness and transparency, these awards have evolved into the most valued and coveted accolades in UK estate and letting agency. 

Announcing the 2025 shortlist, Event Director Grant Leonard said, “The significance and importance of the The Negotiator Awards, in partnership with Zoopla, is reflected in a record breaking year for the event, with the highest number of entries in its history - underlining The Negotiator Awards as the leading awards programme for estate and letting agents and their suppliers, which this year also includes two new categories focused on the surveyors.” 

He continued, “Agents and their suppliers know their businesses best and The Awards are their opportunity to tell their own story, to shine a light on their own successes and skills and present their own case for recognition. It is a nationwide programme and is free to enter – but not easy to win! Our judging process is the most robust, open and transparent process of any property awards, meaning that winning really demonstrates to the industry that the accolade ‘the best’ is truly meaningful.” 

Kivells Director Sam Turner MNAEA commented “I am delighted that Kivells Property auctions have been shortlisted for this national award. This is testament to our team’s hard work and professionalism. 

I would like to thank our vendors and purchasers that have participated at our auctions for many years. 

Kivells’ collective property auctions continue to generate fantastic results for our clients. Being legally binding at the fall of the gavel, this traditional auction method provides vendors with peace of mind knowing that exchange takes place there and then on the night with the buyer completing the purchase within 28 days. 

Our experienced team can ensure your property is auctioned on a date which suits your circumstances with a guide price that will generate strong interest and the best possible sale price."
