The results of the grand final of the International Property Awards will also be disclosed at the gala presentation dinner in London.

Much of the judging has been carried out by the International Property Awards' esteemed panel of judges at the London offices of Bloomberg Television but entries were also outsourced to leading experts in each particular field throughout the world.

Neil Young, CEO of Young Group and Young London, said of winning the award, "Young London prides itself on having thrown away the rule book when it comes to lettings. Run by accountants and surveyors, our fresh approach and dedication to providing amazing customer service means our landlords benefit from minimal voids, enhanced rental income and optimal property management. Our tenants can relax knowing that renting a property from Young London will be a straightforward process that gives them a quality home which is exceptionally well looked after. It's something that we're incredibly proud of and wining a UK Property Award in the category of Best Lettings Agency is proof that our considered, service focused approach works and is appreciated."

About Young London
Young London is part of Young Group, a property portfolio management company, with a focus exclusively on residential property in London (primarily within travel zone 2).

Young Group was established in 2003 by a team of surveyors and accountants to enable landlords wishing to hold investment property for the long term to do so with the same ease as they would invest in any other asset class. A critical element of this is the lettings and management of their property. The Young London branch office in Southwark, SE1 opened in September 2008 and has grown to now manage more than 300 properties across London.

Young London is its own business but benefits from the experience and analytical approach brought by Young Group's senior management team, an outlook that was afforded particular praise when Young London received the Sunday Times' award for Best Small Lettings Business.

Since its inception, Young London has questioned and interrogated all elements of the 'traditional' estate agency model and tries to look at everything with fresh eyes - evidenced by our strong focus on online marketing, adoption of social networking (now a tangible revenue stream) and unwavering attention on providing the very best possible customer service.
