Clan Gordon Wins Gold At The Negotiator Awards 2025, Recognised As One Of The UK’s Best Letting Agencies

Posted: 16th December 2025

Clan Gordon, one of Edinburgh’s leading letting agencies, has been awarded Gold for Lettings Agency of the Year (Medium) at The Negotiator Awards 2025, the UK’s most respected independent awards programme for the estate and lettings sector.

This national accolade recognises the agency’s long-standing commitment to exceptional service, fairness and transparency for both landlords and tenants.

The win follows last year’s double shortlisting for Regional – Scotland and Lettings Agency of the Year (Medium), where Clan Gordon was praised for its high standards and client-focused approach.

Now in its 18th year, The Negotiator Awards celebrates excellence across the residential property industry. Hundreds of agencies from across the UK entered the 2025 programme, with winners announced at a gala ceremony at London’s Grosvenor House, Park Lane.

Values-Driven Property Management Takes Centre Stage

Judges commended Clan Gordon for its clear values, standout website and unwavering commitment to “providing a quality service over volume,” recognising the agency’s focus on doing what’s right – not simply what’s profitable.

Co-founder Jonathan Gordon said:

“Winning Gold at The Negotiator Awards means a huge amount to our whole team.
We’ve never chased being the biggest agency – we’ve always focused on being the best for the landlords and tenants who trust us. Every decision we make starts with honesty, fairness and doing what’s right, even if it’s not the quickest or easiest route. This award is recognition of that commitment.”

A Philosophy Rooted In Raising Standards

Clan Gordon was founded in 2007 with a clear mission: to raise standards in property management and ensure both landlords and tenants receive the respect and professionalism they deserve.
Today, every team member is MARLA-qualified or working towards it, providing landlords with dependable expertise on compliance, maintenance and market trends, while tenants benefit from a responsive, people-first service.

The Gold Award marks another milestone in a year of growth and innovation for the company, reinforcing its reputation as Scotland’s trusted, quality-led agent.

Continuing A Track Record Of Industry Recognition

This latest national win adds to Clan Gordon’s growing list of awards, including The Herald Property Awards and the EA Masters Gold Award, which placed the agency in the top 5% of UK letting agents. The recognition reflects ongoing investment in people, service standards and transparent processes that make property management easier and more reliable for landlords.
