Auction House scoop another award

Multi-award winning property auctioneer Auction House has scooped yet another industry trophy – this time, the Silver Award for Best Franchise at the 2014 Estate Agency of the Year Awards.

This is the fourth consecutive year that the group has won an award at the prestigious event, including a total of two gold medals. This year’s ceremony was held on Friday 5 December at the Lancaster Hotel in London.

Commenting on the success, Auction House Founding Director Roger Lake said: “We’re delighted to have received yet another award in what is becoming a far more competitive arena, with the number of estate agency and letting agency franchises growing rapidly. For Auction House to be named as award winners for four consecutive years is even more impressive, and demonstrates a consistently high performance throughout a period of sustained growth.”

The award follows news of an improving success rate of 76.2% in November with 144 properties sold, raising a total of £12.9m. Results for the year confirm Auction House as the market leader, with record 11-month sales of 2,659 lots and over £312 million raised.
