The Duncan Yeardley Estate Agents - Ascot Reputation Story
Duncan Yeardley Estate Agents - Ascot have been named a Trusted Agent 2026 Gold winner. Out of more than 20,000 offices benchmarked, the data — real customers, real reviews, real results in Ascot — earned them the accolade. Unlike most industry awards, winners are independently verified and no agent pays to enter.
Duncan Yeardley Estate Agents - Ascot was named a Trusted Agent 2026 Gold winner on 7 July 2026.
The Trusted Agent 2026 winners were revealed at ICC Newport on 7 July 2026, after a benchmark of more than 20,000 UK estate agent offices on performance data (how well agents sell and let homes in their area and other key factors like time to sell and fall-throughs) and customer-satisfaction data (reviews on platforms like Google, Facebook, Trustpilot and Feefo). Duncan Yeardley Estate Agents - Ascot was one of them.
Gold status places an office in the top 5% nationally

Gold offices reply to their reviews
Reply rate is one of the factors behind Gold status. Offices that consistently respond to customer reviews, good and bad, tend to score higher than those that do not, and the Gold tier reflects agents who treat that as part of the job.

Gold offices often outgrow their local competition
Offices reaching Gold typically show review counts well above their regional average, a sign that more local sellers and landlords are choosing them over nearby competitors. It is one of the clearest ways the Trusted Agent data reflects genuine local growth.

No fees, no entries, no submissions for Gold
Gold status is calculated the same way as every other tier: from performance data and independent review data across more than 20,000 UK offices. There is no application form and no cost to be considered, which is what separates it from most industry award schemes.

Gold winners are backed by their own customers
The customer-satisfaction half of the Gold score comes directly from reviews left on Google, Facebook, Trustpilot and Feefo. A Gold-tier office has built up a volume and quality of reviews from real local customers that puts it ahead of the vast majority of agents in its area.
