Property Reporter Awards launched with support from NRLA

Businesses from across the property market have a new opportunity to gain recognition for their contribution to the industry as industry publication Property Reporter, has announced the launch of the Property Reporter Awards, proudly supported by the NRLA.

A brand new event, the Property Reporter Awards aims to recognise achievements across the entire landscape of the UK property market, from letting agents to lenders – celebrating those who innovate, develop and strive to find new ways to support landlords and other property professionals in an ever-changing and often challenging industry.

Nominations can be made for any business which deserves recognition via the Property Reporter Awards website – and those working in the industry can also nominate their own businesses and encourage supporting nominations from their clients and peers.

The Awards are comprised of fourteen categories, including those aimed at property businesses such as estate agencies, property developers, and legal services, as well as financial services firms, such as mortgage and bridging lenders.

After the closing date on 30th October, a judging panel - comprised of seasoned property professionals from across the industry - will then decide the finalists in each category. Finalists will be announced digitally on 19th November 2020.

Due to social distancing requirements as a result of Covid-19, the PRA Property Reporter Awards winners announcement will take place digitally on the 26th November 2020.
