REAL estate adviser DTZ has been named Property Week’s Office Agency Team of the Year.

DTZ’s 80-strong national office agency team won the top prize in annual awards.

Across the UK, DTZ’s office agency teams transacted over 9.7m sq ft in 2008, completing over 800 deals.

Newcastle’s office team was involved with 234,322 sq ft of the 615,181 sq ft transacted in 2008, which represents a 38% market share.

This award follows on the heels of the agency teams’ successes in the 2008 EGi deals competition, where DTZ last month was named top agent in the North and the West Midlands.
