16 August 2010: ACHIEVEMENT WALES WINNER ALSO SHORTLISTED AS FINALIST IN THE LEADING UK ESTATE AGENCY OF THE YEAR AWARDS

All Wales Auctions has been shortlisted in the Newcomer of the Year category of The Negotiator Awards 2010, organised in association with The Digital Property Group, FindaProperty.com, Globrix.com and Primelocation.com.

The event is the leading nationwide estate agency awards scheme in the UK, and the trophies will be presented at a glittering awards ceremony hosted by TV and radio comedian Fred MacAulay, at the Hilton Hotel in London’s Park Lane on Wednesday 10 November.

The All Wales Auction was established in 2009, when South Wales estate agents, Peter Alan and North Wales estate agents, Williams & Goodwin The Property People joined forces to create the first auction house based in Wales that covers the whole of the country with twin auction sites in Cardiff and Bangor.

Over the past year, the All Wales Auction has enjoyed huge success, winning the Daily Post Achievement Wales award in December 2009 and with the most recent South Wales Auction, held in July, selling 91 per cent of the properties that went under the hammer.

Clare Bettelley, editor of The Negotiator, says: “We’ve had a terrific response this year, so All Wales Auctions has done brilliantly to get shortlisted, particularly when up against such an extensive list of outstanding firms in its field. Agents continue to face a challenging market, but this doesn’t seem to be enough to hold back their talent, entrepreneurialism and creativity”.

She added: “The Negotiator Awards were designed by the leading residential agency magazine, The Negotiator, to identify, reward and celebrate industry excellence and promote best practice, so we’re delighted to, once again, be able to organise and host a ceremony that continues to do just that.”

Both Peter Alan Estate Agents and The Property People have recently reported growth in house sales for the first half of 2010.

Andrew Barry, Sales Director at Peter Alan Estate Agents, said: “We are delighted that the All Wales Auction has been shortlisted for one of the most prestigious awards in the industry. We believe that the development of a national auction house for Wales has not only helped local Welsh people to buy and sell property through one catalogue, but also increased enquiries and success rates.”

All Wales Auctioneer, Melfyn N Williams added: “We are becoming known as The Property Auctioneers of Wales and are naturally excited at being recognised by the industry as one of the leading new brands in the UK. We have combined years of property auction experience with the marketing of the best estate agents in North & South Wales, coupled with superb commitment from our auction specialist teams, we trust anyone who is considering selling by auction will contact the All Wales auction team in either North or South Wales”

The next All Wales Auctions will be held on 7th and 12th October in North & South Wales.

The sponsors of the awards include Virgin Media, Endsleigh Let, The Property Jungle, The Digital Property Group, FindaProperty.com, Primelocation.com and Globrix.com.
