A very successful year for EveMove.com has been capped off by winning a Bronze Award for Innovation at the Lettings Agency of the Year Awards.

The rapidly expanding sales and letting agent has had many new franchisees set up throughout the UK this year and has been a popular addition to the Cheshire property market since it was set up last year.

EveMove.com was delighted to be recognised at the Lettings Agency of the Year Awards, which is held each year in association with The Sunday Times and The Times and sponsored by Zoopla.

The company received its innovation award at a glittering awards ceremony held in the Nine Kings Suite at the Lancaster London hotel on June 20.

EveMove.com was also shortlisted for the Best Property Management in the 501 to 1,000 managed properties category.

Mike Lancaster, EveMove.com Northwich branch director, said: “The Lettings Agency of the Year Awards is the only awards event solely focussed on lettings. We are honoured and delighted to have received this award and look forward to providing an exceptional and innovative service to all our customers in Cheshire.” The very best agents from throughout the UK gathered to find out who had been judged to be the best of the best.

EweMove.com’s award for innovation came about from the company’s desire for a system that offered the same ease of access and cohesive service to tenants as to landlords.

Unable to find an off-the-shelf solution to do this, the company set about designing its own.

Mike said: “Taking three years to build, the world’s only 24/7 automated sales and letting solution, Ewereka!™, is a fully automated, cloud-based system which enables prospective tenants to book viewings and apply for tenancies online.

“Functionality includes SMS text and email alerts and reminders, as well as systems for chasing rent arrears and alerting guarantors to potential issues.”

The ability for potential tenants to book their own viewings has led to an increase in viewing figures, as the team is no longer struggling to reach people in response to an enquiry. This increase enables EweMove.com to choose the highest quality tenants, resulting in reduced rent issues, increased landlord retention, lower void periods and above average tenancy length (double the UK average).

EweMove.com is rapidly being recognised as the most innovative stand out brand in the property market, not only for its unique £1.32 million Ewereka!™ IT system but also for its ‘Rent Now, Buy Later’ scheme – for those struggling to get a foot on the property ladder – whereby rent is fixed for five years with an affordable monthly payment to build up a deposit fund.

“This is hugely beneficial to everyone looking to buy, sell or let,” Mike said. “The key to our success and rapid growth is our quirky brand and our extensive marketing.

“We make sure that our customers’ properties really do stand out from the crowd, giving them the attention they deserve. This includes providing amazing photographs, 3D floor plans and carefully crafted marketing descriptions.

“First and foremost, we pride ourselves on working harder than any other agent to deliver results for our clients.”

With a motto of ‘We’ll never fleece ewe’ and a bid to better the average house selling time, the company offers a totally unique and cast-iron guarantee to sell a home in 77 days.

Equally, customers are not required to pay upfront fees or sneaky hidden charges along with a ‘no sale, no fee’ promise, while it’s free for a tenant to apply for a property.

With a reported 95 per cent of buyers now searching online, EweMove.com lists properties on all of the major property portals, which generate 183 million buyer searches each month.

This, combined with EweMove.com’s ‘mammoth marketing’ approach, means that sellers and landlords’ homes get more interest, more quickly.

Mike said: “We also operate a 24/7 service, making sure that any viewing enquiry or purchase offer is never lost.

“It’s obvious really. Most people search for houses online when they’ve finished work, or at weekends – precisely when most agents are shut.

“They’re missing a trick as we get lots of enquiries during these periods, so our clients don’t miss out.”
