Independent estate agency recognised at UK Small Business Awards
An independent estate agency serving Garstang and the surrounding areas has been recognised on a national stage after being named Runner-Up for Best Real Estate Business at the UK Small Business Awards 2025.
Sutcliffe Sales & Lettings, which specialises in residential sales, lettings, property management, and park and leisure home sales, was praised for its customer-focused approach and commitment to modernising the traditional estate agency model.
Founded with a clear mission to deliver a more personal, professional and stress-free property experience, the business has built a reputation for tailored service and transparency. The agency supports buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants across every stage of the property journey, with a strong emphasis on communication and trust.
Owner and Managing Director Myles Sutcliffe brings hands-on expertise to every bricks-and-mortar property valuation, offering clients direct insight from the outset. Operations Manager Zoe, a Park Home and Leisure Home specialist, leads valuations in this growing sector, providing dedicated guidance for clients navigating a more specialist market.
What sets Sutcliffe Sales & Lettings apart is its investment in innovative marketing and client support. Properties are promoted using 360-degree virtual tours, professional drone photography and high-quality video content, alongside listings on major portals including Rightmove and OnTheMarket. Targeted social media campaigns further ensure properties reach the right audience.
The agency also offers dedicated mobile apps for vendors, landlords and tenants, allowing real-time access to updates. Vendors can track viewings and feedback, landlords can monitor rent payments, maintenance and compliance, while tenants can manage repairs and tenancy information with ease.
Commenting on the awards recognition, Myles said:
“Being named runner-up at the UK Small Business Awards is an incredibly proud moment for us. To be recognised nationally for doing things the right way—putting people first, embracing innovation and delivering genuine service—means a huge amount to the whole team. We’re grateful to our clients for trusting us and supporting our journey.”
The accolade reflects the agency’s commitment to transparency, efficiency and personal care, ensuring clients are never treated as just another number.
As Sutcliffe Sales & Lettings continues to grow, the team remains focused on supporting buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants through one of life’s most significant financial decisions, with clarity, confidence and attention to detail at the heart of everything they do.
