Shortlist Announced for EastPropAwards 2025

Posted by UK Property Forums on 7th May 2025 -

A total of 38 people across 12 categories will go through to find out who the winners are at the black-tie awards night at Homerton College, Cambridge on June 25.

Judges met last week and made their decisions which will be under wraps until the awards night.

UK Property Forums managing director Matthew Battle, who was joint chair of the judging panel, said: “It was a difficult process with 38 submissions which were of high quality across all categories.

“Submissions came from a range of locations including St Albans, Norwich, Hertford, Royston, Bury St Edmonds, and Cambridge which was very encouraging.

“The debate among the panel, which included some key industry experts, was robust and making the decisions on the winners was an excellent experience. This is the fourth year of the awards and I think this has been of the best.”
