A KENDAL online letting agents has been shortlisted for two national awards for excellence in the estate and letting agents sector.


Mint Homes are one of just six UK finalists in The Negotiator Awards ‘Online Agency of the Year’ category. 


The Negotiator Awards celebrate excellence in the property industry and this year received over 360 entries from estate and letting agents across the UK.


Mint Homes have also been shortlisted by the Landlord & Lettings Awards for ‘Letting Agent of the Year’. 


The prestigious Landlord & Lettings Awards were set up in 2009 to recognise excellence in the private rented sector and it is the first time they have been nominated for such awards.


Mint Homes are the only letting agents in Cumbria to have been shortlisted for both awards. 


Helen Westwell, who launched Mint Homes in 2008, said: “It is the first time that we have ever been nominated for an award, and to be shortlisted for two in one week is really exciting.

"It would be great to win, especially as we are up against big national companies.


"The winners in our categories last year were agencies from London and Manchester and we know that the competition will be very tough.

"I’m really proud of the service that we provide to landlords and tenants across South Lakeland and being shortlisted for two UK-wide awards is recognition for all the hard work that the entire team has put in during the past twelve months. 


"As management and lettings specialists we can focus solely on the priorities of our landlords and tenants without worrying about property sales, and I think this is one of the reasons that 100% of our clients would recommend Mint Homes or use our services again.
