Ryder and Dutton named Estate Agency of the Year

A TOP estate agent is celebrating after scooping two prestigious awards for the second year running.

Independent Estate Agent Ryder and Dutton was crowned North West Agency of the Year and Large Estate Agency of the Year at The Negotiator’s annual event.

A glittering ceremony was held at The Hilton for the awards, which celebrate the very best estate agencies, lettings agencies, auctioneers and property industry suppliers countrywide.
