Our Awards

Derby's Most Decorated Agent

We’re proud to say that Hannells are, by far, the most decorated and nationally recognised, independent estate and lettings agent in Derby. This is the result of a huge passion for what we do, great customer service, outstanding results and a daily focus on continuing to improve the service we provide to our customers…

Winning any award in an extremely competitive industry where the are 15,000 competing estate agency brands with over 25,000 individual branches is a huge challenge. The awards you’ll see below are the result of actual customer feedback, rigorous independent testing including mystery shops and comparisons of the results we achieve. Whilst they’re not the be all and end all when choosing your agent, awards do give a great indication of what an agency really values. We truly believe that we are the best estate agent in the Derby area and when that’s backed up with customer feedback and highly regarded, independent industry bodies, that’s hard to beat! Here are some of our highlights so far:
