Livingroom was recognised for its 'professionalism and ambition' and it was also noted how 'Livingroom promotes the Channel Islands to a wider audience - in addition to simply promoting a property portfolio'.

The Guernsey branch, which is approaching its 14th birthday, has retained the top 5* Best Estate Agency in Guernsey award for another year. The judging period having spanned a re-brand, new office relocation to St. Peter Port and staff expansion.

The Jersey branch, which only opened in October 2018, was recognised for 'a successful launch and first year of business'. 

Livingroom was also recognised for its marketing, winning Best Estate Agency Marketing in the Channel Islands with a 5* award.

Livingroom will be up against the highest scoring regional agencies at the next stage of the awards on 2 December 2019 at the Savoy Hotel in London.
