It was the turn of the best players in the UK property market to shine as the results of the world’s biggest property competition were announced on Friday night (October 31st).
It’s imperative that, to succeed in such a highly competitive industry, estate agents, developers and others involved in the property business are naturally competitive. This desire to be the best has been channelled by a large number of professionals entering the Daily Mail UK Property Awards in association with Yamaha.
As with all competitions there are only a select number of winners and these were revealed at a gala presentation dinner at The Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. The turn out was tremendous with 400 guests who had travelled from as far a field as Scotland and Northern Ireland and, indeed, from all corners of the UK. Presenter for the evening was the former BBC Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond.
Barton Wyatt – the renown Virginia Water Estate Agents won the title of Best Surrey Estate Agent for an unprecedented third year in a row. They also scooped the award for Best UK Estate Agents website.
James Wyatt commented “every team member at Barton Wyatt works so hard to service our clients in a way that none of our competitors could hope to emulate. This award is for my team really. We constantly innovate, we improve and we succeed. But at the end of the day, it all down to wonderful staff doing a truly great job and I am delighted that Barton Wyatt have again been recognised as one of the UK’s best Estate Agents”.
The Daily Mail UK Property Awards are part of the globally respected International Property Awards, which have been running for 14 years. Due to their continual growth in size and standing, a series of other programmes for specific countries have also been launched. The Daily Mail UK Awards were introduced four years ago and these were joined more recently by individual programmes for the Arabian, Asia Pacific, European, African and Americas Property Awards. The result is that a staggering 95 different countries are represented within this year’s entries – almost twice as many as in 2007.

James Wyatt at the NAEA International Forum 2008
DRAGON BREATHES FIRE INTO THIS YEARS INTERNATIONAL FORUM
30 / Oct / 2008
James Caan, Sue Hayward and Michael Saunders were just some of the key speakers to attend this year’s highly acclaimed International Forum ‘Staying Profitable in a Challenging Market’ held by the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), which was a show stopping success this year.
The main attraction of this exciting event was celebrity guest speaker James Caan, from BBC’s Dragon’s Den who discussed the ways to stay profitable in a challenging market.
James explained ways to make the most of a difficult market place using his personal experience as a successful businessman. He proved very popular with attendees as he provided an excellent insight into ways to improve their business in the current market.
The fifth in a series of international forums was held at the luxurious 5 star Renaissance Chancery Hotel in London. The event, which was sponsored solely by Foreign Currency Direct had over 100 leaders in international property attend, providing them with the opportunity to listen to a number of property experts give an insight on ‘Staying Profitable in a Challenging Market’.
Other guest speakers included; Sue Hayward, TV presenter and journalist, who discussed marketing properties within the media; Peter Bolton King, Chief Executive of the NAEA, gave a preview talk on the much anticipated Property Portal ‘Property Live’ and Michael Saunders, Top US property expert, flew especially from America to discuss how to expand ones horizons through effective networking. Other topics included staying on the right side of the law and the current Spanish initiative from the government to underpin the building industry. The day was split up with a buffet lunch and the forum was rounded off with a cocktail party, which provided opportunities for delegates and speakers to meet. Delegates received an action packed day allowing then to obtain useful information.
Delegate, James Wyatt of Barton Wyatt International, comments: “This was by far the best NAEA conference I have ever been to. There was a fantastic range of speakers, from different counties, who shared a lot of knowledge on the current market. With the present situation of the market, a number of property professionals are feeling the pinch, however this day was insightful and many left feeling positive.”
Peter Bolton King, Chief Executive of the NAEA, says: “The International Forum was an astounding success, with a great turn out and a well-informed picture of the international property market from a mix of property experts. The event provided the perfect opportunity for the NAEA to unveil its plans for Property Live, the Associations new Property Portal.”Stephan Hughes, Associate Director at Foreign Currency Direct, concludes: “It was a pleasure for us to be the sole sponsors this year. The day was a major success and everyone left content with the set up of the day and information provided. In this difficult market, it is useful to gain insider knowledge as this helps maintain sales and opens doors to other opportunities presented in the overseas market.”
