Awards have been handed out to agents in London who pulled off the top-priced sales and lettings deals in the last year.

The highest-priced sale in the 12 months to the end of May was £63m – up from £42m last year – while two lets were for £40,000 a week.

The awards were dished out by LonRes at its annual summer party.
