Nigerian firm wins UK award

A NIGERIAN owned company, Daniel Ford & Co Limited, has boosted the country’s  image by winning the ‘Best Property Management Agency’ at The Lettings Agency of the Year Awards 2012 in London.

North London-based Daniel Ford & Co won in the Silver-Best Property Management Agency (0-200 properties) category at the awards organised in association with The Sunday Times of London and The Times of London and sponsored by Zoopla.co.uk.

Daniel Ford Property Company is owned by Mr. Yemi Edun, who is based in London and its strength lies in acquiring properties in London for prospective Nigerian and non-Nigerian owners based on their choice location and budget.

Edun said the company specialises in overseas landlords, giving it an edge in the highly-competitive lettings market.

“We represent prospective buyers in their purchase, from locating the property through negotiation and completing the sale. Most of these properties are from auctions and off market sources thereby giving the buyer value from day one.

“The company also manages, on behalf of their clients, even after purchase. Management includes maintenance, collection of rents and remittance on behalf of clients.”
