Property award winner is "truly inspirational"

The winner of a prestigious property prize has said been described as "truly inspirational" by TV presenter Melissa Porter, who presented the awards.

Sheffield landlord Shona Davison, 31, who suffers from myotonic dystrophy, was chosen to be the National Landlords Association property woman of the year 2009 due to an extremely healthy property portfolio and financial successes across the private-rented sector.

Property aficionado Ms Porter claimed that it was positive attitude and business acumen of Ms Davison, who bought her first flat aged 24, that had made her stand out in the industry, despite the recent slump in the market.

"Shona is a truly inspirational woman who has proved that through hard work and determination absolutely anything is possible," she said.

Meanwhile, independent property specialist Malcolm Harrison recently signalled that the end was near for the UK's property problems, citing a number of positive reports about the sector in the past few months.
