The Savills UK residential sales and lettings team was named Sales and Letting Agency of the Year at the 2021 RESI Awards in London.

The company beat off stiff competition from the other shortlisted firms, including Foxtons, Rettie & Co and JLL, to win the coveted prize.

The award was collected by Liza-Jane Kelly, director, London residential sales, and Georgina Bartlett, director and head of Sloane Street lettings (pictured).

Rettie & Co was ‘Highly Recommended’ by the judges.

Justin Marking, head of global residential at Savilss, said: “This is a fantastic achievement and testament to the effort, fortitude, teamwork and very high levels of service offered to our clients right across our residential agency business in resales, lettings, operational capital markets and new developments.

“I am particularly pleased that we’ve won such a prestigious award this year. History tells us that competition increases during better markets which, coupled with the fact that we’ve all had some pretty testing environments for the past year, makes winning this award particularly rewarding.

“My thanks and congratulations go to the team leaders across our sales and lettings businesses and to each and every team member who has contributed to this win.”
