A local firm of leading property specialists has been commended for its dedication to quality services in two categories at a key industry event.

Shropshire-based Nock Deighton was shortlisted for both 'Best Block Management' and 'Best Small Midlands Lettings Agency' at the prestigious Lettings Agency of the Year Awards.

The awards, which are backed by both The Times and The Sunday Times newspapers, were announced during a ceremony held last month at the Lancaster Hotel, London, which was hosted by double Olympic gold medal winner Dame Kelly Holmes.

Dawn Clarke, Director of Nock Deighton, and Head of Lettings and Property Management for the firm, commented: "We are delighted that, out of several hundred entrants, our commitment to providing quality services has been nationally recognised - especially as competition was particularly fierce this year, with an increase in the number of entrants by almost a third compared with last year's awards.

"To be shortlisted and commended at such a pivotal industry event in not just one, but two distinct categories is a terrific achievement, and is testament to the commitment and passion of the entire Nock Deighton team in providing quality services across Shropshire."

Founded in 1831, Nock Deighton is one of the Midlands' most well-established and respected firms of estate agents, lettings agents, chartered surveyors, block management agents, and auctioneers. The company stands at the forefront of the modern property sector by embracing up-to-the-minute technology and industry best practice, and has a firm focus on achieving the very best results through a full range of specialist property-related services and dedicated staff.
