So why should a property owner choose Lemontree to manage their property? Lemontree is a pro-active, independent lettings specialist known for its excellent service and reputation - an achievement that the British Property Awards recognised when, in December, the company received the Gold Award for 2019/ 2020.

Located in Old Station Road, Newmarket, with a Cambridge office in the pipeline, Lemontree successful manage over 300 properties in and around Cambridge and Newmarket. This personal and professional firm, which last year celebrated it's 10th anniversary, has expanded year after year, mainly through referrals and dose everything in-house including tenant referencing, inventories, inspections and checkouts, ensuring the highest level of service for both landlords and tenants. It is also important to note that Lemontree do no charge anything on top of their management fee - so no unexpected costs.

The experienced and knowledgeable members of staff have a positive and respectful relationship with all their landlords and tenants and the dedicated 24/7 maintenance team and inspections manager are a huge benefit as they ensure that every property is well maintained.

Beth Barnham, the owner and founder of Lemontree, said: "We are very fortunate that most of our new business is referred by existing landlords and tenants, so we don't generally do any form of newspaper / magazine or similar advertising. Having said that, I feel that our recent service award and 10 year anniversary last year are very relevant as they reinforce that we are a successful and capable agent supplying a level of service above that of our competitors."

Beth continued: "I consider us a pro-active and forward-thinking agent challenging and improving on the typical traditional practices. Over the years, I have noticed other agents following our trends - not just in Newmarket but in Cambridge and Ely too. Simple things, like our responsive website, branding and pool car.

"Our signage has always been vibrant and eye catching and our Let & Managed wording on our let boards are now used by many other agents. When we relocated, we wanted to ensure that we stood out from our competition, so our office is super-modern and fresh, but without losing our friendly and approachable attitude on which our visitors frequently comment. If you would like to know please give us a call."

Congratulations to the team on their recent recognition - onwards and upwards!
