Alder King wins EGi’s Most Active Agent Award for 13th time

Property consultancy Alder King has won the title of Most Active Agent in the South West from leading property publication Estates Gazette for the 13^th year in succession.  The firm won the award for the number of deals completed in 2013 in a competition which attracted a record-breaking level of entries. 

Once again, it was Alder King’s dominance in the offices and industrial markets, supported by strong performances in the retail and investment sectors, which helped it secure the Most Active Agent title for another year. 

Simon Price, head of agency at Alder King, commented: “We are absolutely delighted that our consistently high performance across the board has delivered us this award for a 13^th time. 

“While the volume of deals we’ve concluded is important, we’re also proud that we were instrumental in securing some of the largest and high profile transactions of the past year.  This includes the sale of 100 Temple Street on behalf of Aviva to Bristol City Council, the largest occupier deal for a decade; the freehold sale of the 236,666 sq ft Oxford Building at Europa Industrial Park in Swindon as well as some 75,000 sq of industrial pre-lets at Quedgeley West on behalf of St Modwen.

“Prospects for the year ahead look increasingly positive, with occupier confidence on the increase and speculative new builds and refurbishments underway across the region.  We look forward to building further on our market-leading position.”

South West

Alder King will probably consider nothing unlucky about its 13th consecutive win in the South West and should instead point to a consistently high performance across the board, with only Savills’ excellent work in the retail sector once more stopping the independent scoring a clean sweep of the three main categories. The region also saw a buoyant investment market with JLL sitting top of that particular pile.
