KLA Properties is delighted to announce that we were named Sales and Lettings Agency of the Year 2025 for East Sussex last month in the prestigious Global Business Awards, hosted by Corporate Vision Magazine – for the third year in a row.
This incredible achievement recognises the continued dedication, professionalism and personal service that have become the hallmark of our business. For us, this award isn’t just a trophy, it’s a reflection of the trust and satisfaction our clients place in us every day.
Celebrating Excellence in a Changing World
Now in its ninth year, the Global Business Awards celebrate enterprises and leaders across the world who are redefining success in their industries. From innovative start-ups to established market leaders, the programme recognises those who go the extra mile for their clients, pushing boundaries and setting new benchmarks for quality, service and innovation.
Corporate Vision Magazine’s Awards Coordinator, Melissa Bramall, described this year’s winners as “dedicated businesses and individuals… improving the present while altering the trajectory of their industries, forever.”
It’s a description that resonates deeply with us at KLA Properties. The property industry has changed significantly in recent years, shaped by technological advances, evolving legislation and rising expectations from vendors, buyers, landlords and tenants alike. To be recognised among businesses making a difference in such a competitive and fast-moving environment is both an honour and a motivation to keep striving for even higher standards.
Standing Out in a Competitive Market
The Global Business Awards use a strictly merit-based assessment process to identify winners. The judging panel looks at factors such as customer testimonials, social media presence, business growth and overall impact within the sector.
This makes the win particularly meaningful for us. As an independent lettings and sales agency with over 20 years of experience in the Hailsham, Eastbourne, Heathfield and surrounding areas, our success has been built on word-of-mouth recommendations, client loyalty and an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing for both landlords and tenants.
We’re proud to be a small business competing alongside much larger agencies – and winning. That recognition confirms what we’ve always believed: that personal service, transparency and genuine care are what truly set an agency apart.
A Human Approach to Property
At KLA Properties, we know that letting or selling a property isn’t just a transaction, it’s a significant personal decision. Whether you’re a landlord trusting us with your investment, a tenant looking for a new home or a homeowner planning your next move, you deserve an Agent to partner with you who listens, communicates and delivers.
Our approach is rooted in problem solving and personal connection. We don’t just list properties and hope for the best. We take the time to understand your goals, find solutions to challenges and ensure the right match between landlord and tenant.
We also handle every inspection ourselves. Remaining present throughout the tenancy means we can spot potential issues early, support both parties effectively and maintain the high standards that underpin our reputation. Every property, every client and every relationship matter equally, whether you have one property or ten.
Delivering More Than the Basics
In addition to traditional sales and lettings services, KLA Properties offers Maintenance, Project Management and Consultancy support. This wider service offering allows us to help clients prepare properties for letting, manage ongoing repairs and oversee renovation or improvement projects.
Our network of trusted tradespeople ensures that every job, big or small, is completed efficiently and to a high standard. Because we manage everything directly, our clients benefit from peace of mind knowing their property is in safe hands.
We also partner with specialised third-party providers for comprehensive referencing and property inventory services, essential tools that safeguard landlords and tenants alike.
When it comes to marketing, we make sure our clients’ properties get the visibility they deserve. We advertise on Zoopla, Prime Location, our own website, and across our social media channels, reaching thousands of potential tenants and buyers.
Why Awards Like This Matter
Winning a Global Business Award is more than just a pat on the back. It provides recognition within a global network of businesses that are excelling despite economic challenges and changing markets.
Being recognised in this environment shows that KLA Properties is not just keeping pace with change but leading by example.
Our Commitment to the Future
This award belongs to our whole team and to our clients. Without the trust and support of landlords, tenants and homeowners across East Sussex, achievements like this wouldn’t be possible.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to:
- Delivering exceptional service with integrity, consistency and care.
- Embracing technology to make the lettings and sales process as smooth and transparent as possible.
- Supporting landlords in maintaining and improving their investments.
- Helping tenants find safe, comfortable homes where they can thrive.
- Strengthening our community ties, supporting local businesses and contributing positively to our area.
The property market is always evolving, but our values remain the same. We believe that doing things properly, with honesty, respect and attention to detail, is what earns lasting success.
A Word from Our Founder, Kirsty
“Winning this award for the third year running means so much to us” says Kirsty, who founded KLA Properties after almost two decades in the industry.
“Our mission has always been to take the stress out of property management for our landlords and tenants. We understand how important it is to have confidence in your letting agent and that’s why we put communication, trust and reliability at the heart of everything we do.
To be recognised again by Corporate Vision, especially as an independent agency competing on a global stage, is incredibly rewarding. It validates the hard work we put in every day and reminds us that our approach, personal, proactive and professional, really does make a difference.”
