A Kent-based property agency is celebrating national recognition after being named Best Online Agent at the ESTAS 2026 Awards. Addressed, co-owned by Matthew Hawkins and Martin Logan, has built its reputation by combining modern technology, personal service and competitive fees.
NATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR A KENT BUSINESS
The ESTAS recognise property professionals for the service they provide to customers, with customer feedback central to the awards. For Addressed, the national recognition is a milestone in its development from a Kent-based business into a national property agency. Headquartered in Tonbridge, it offers landlords and property owners a single point of contact for property services across the UK.
CHALLENGING THE TRADITIONAL ESTATE AGENCY MODEL
Matthew and Martin have built Addressed around the principle that property management should be straightforward, transparent and focused on the customer. By combining modern technology, experienced property professionals and extensive local market knowledge, the company offers landlords national coverage with local expertise.
Its service combines the personal attention of an independent agency with the geographical reach of a national organisation, while remaining competitive on fees. Alongside residential lettings and property management, the company's wider brands include Nightlee, specialising in short-term accommodation, and Maximized, providing furniture and interior design solutions. Together these services support Matthew and Martin's ambition to provide a comprehensive property solution for landlords and investors.
TWO EXPERIENCED BUSINESS OWNERS WITH A SHARED VISION
Matthew Hawkins and Martin Logan each have more than 20 years' experience in the property industry. Across more than four decades of combined experience, they have seen major changes in marketing, technology, legislation and customer expectations. Their complementary expertise in property management, operations, sales, marketing and business development has helped shape Addressed into a modern national agency.
Matthew Hawkins, co-owner, said: 'Between us, Martin and I have more than 40 years of experience in the property industry. We've always believed that estate agency should be built around the customer rather than the agent. To receive national recognition at the ESTAS is an incredibly proud moment, not just for us as business owners, but for the entire Addressed team. We're a Kent business at heart, and although our operations now extend across the country, we've never forgotten where we came from.'
BUILDING ON AWARD-WINNING SERVICE
Addressed has previously been recognised at the AllAgents Awards, including Best Letting Agent in the South East and Best Letting Agent in Tonbridge in 2024, and Silver for Best Letting Agent in Greater London South in 2023. Matthew has also received individual recognition, including Silver for Best Male Agent in the UK in 2015 and Bronze awards in 2014 and 2013. For both co-owners, customer satisfaction remains the most important measure of success.
GROWING NATIONALLY WHILE REMAINING KENT-BASED
Addressed continues to operate from Tonbridge while serving clients across the country. Its growth illustrates how independent businesses can use technology and innovative working practices to compete nationally without losing their local identity. The company is focused on developing its services, embracing new technology and expanding its national presence.
Matthew added: 'One of the things Martin and I are most proud of is the team we've built. Property management is a demanding industry, and our staff work incredibly hard to look after our clients and their properties. Recognition like this belongs to everyone involved. We have ambitious plans for the future, but our focus will always remain on delivering the level of service that has helped us reach this point.'
