Neither the International Property Awards, owned by International Property Awards Ltd, nor any of its sponsors or judges issue any written endorsement of the property/properties or company/companies beyond their qualification as an award winner. This is based entirely on the entry presented to the judging panel. Persons or their appointed agents planning to purchase a property through an award winning agency should seek professional and legal advice before entering into agreement to purchase. These awards in no way indemnify the buyer or the seller or offer any form of guarantee. International Property Awards Ltd and sponsors of the International Property Awards will not enter into any correspondence about a winning company/property.

 

Rules

Entry Fees

If your entry does not arrive in our offices by the published deadline, we cannot refund your entry fee and you risk disqualification. It is your responsibility to ensure delivery of your entry.

The entrant is responsible for any and all charges involved in entries reaching our offices, including duty and import charges where applicable. We will not accept entries where these have not been paid, and entries failing to be
delivered for this reason will not have their entry fees refunded.

Your Entries

All award entries are handled by a number of judges and many are couriered by us to a variety of locations for the purpose of judging. While great care is taken with all entries, we cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage. We recommend that where necessary you supply copies of certificates rather than originals and that you should insure anything of particular value.

Digital Imagery

We ask that with each entry you supply a CD of at least 10 high-resolution jpeg images relating to the entry. These will be used for the presentation at the awards dinner should your entry win an award.

Notification of Results

Winning companies are notified of their success by telephone and email. We inform companies of the category or categories in which they have won but the specific level (four or five star) is not made public until the evening of the awards gala dinner. The full list of winners will be made available on the official website the day following the
gala dinner.

Companies who have not been successful in the awards are notified by telephone and email 10 days after notification of the winners.

Return of Entries

Under normal circumstances entries will not be returned. If you do require your entry to be returned, please contact Joanne Burt on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . There will be a charge for this service.

Judges Consultation

Subsequent to the announcement of winners, all entrants may apply for a Judging Consultation Sheet for their entries which will include a breakdown of how the entry was scored and detailed suggestions for improvements or changes to assist in future entries. This document will incur a fee. Details about how to obtain this form will be provided during the course of the awards programme.

Conflict of Interest

In the event of a Conflict of Interest an award entry may not be judged. In such a case we will inform the entrant of the situation and explain the reasons in an attempt to overcome such a conflict.
If a Judge is personally involved with a project or company, that Judge will be disqualified from any involvement in the scoring of that entrant.

Award Trophies

One award plaque is presented per four and five star win. The name on the plaque is reproduced from the information supplied by the entrant on the entry form. It is the responsibility of the entrant to ensure that they provide the correct details for this. If changes to these details are required subsequent to an entry being submitted, the entrant must notify us immediately in writing and obtain acknowledgement that the changes can be made. We will endeavour to make changes, subject to the notification above, provided that plaque production has not commenced.

Only the name(s) provided on the original entry can appear on the awards plaques. It is the responsibility of the entrant company to obtain any permission to enter the awards on behalf of another company.

In the event that award plaques or other materials sent by us have been damaged in transit, the damaged goods must be returned to us before replacements can be ordered.
