Here are the awards we’ve been shortlisted for in more detail:
This will be awarded to the apartment that is most suitable for a first-time buyer; one that is both affordable, yet offers excellent design flair both inside and out.
Heron Quarter at Woodberry Down is a striking collection of 62 one and two-bedroom apartments available to purchase via Shared Ownership, which has proven the perfect choice for first time buyers.
Apartment Two, a ground floor one-bedroom property with over 50 sqm of private terrace, perfectly showcases the homes on offer here. A shared space overlooks a narrow boulevard landscaped with a host of herbaceous borders, which journeys down to the serene setting of the West Reservoir guaranteeing an idyllic setting year-round.
Beautifully designed by Interiors by Abode, the interior draws inspiration from the development’s vast green spaces; with natural materials and textured wallpapers in subtle natural and blue tones throughout. Every detail has been considered in the specification, from above average ceiling heights and vertical space saving radiators to full height windows and doors flooding the rooms with natural light. First time buyers are sure to feel at home here.
This award is for the best development - of any size - in the South of England. A highly competitive marketplace where the construction of new homes is increasing, this award recognises an exceptional range of new homes that stands out from the crowd, whilst remaining accessible to first time buyers.
Occupying a dynamic East London Docklands location in the South of England, Royal Albert Wharf offers a truly unique residential setting that is forging a thriving new destination and neighbourhood - with community at its core. Forming an integral part of the regeneration in London’s Royal Docks, the development spans across multiple phases, delivering a diverse selection of homes that reflect the historical dockside vernacular.
Available to purchase via Help to Buy, outright sale and Shared Ownership, this is a great destination for first time buyers to kick start their home ownership journey.
This award will go to the company with the best show home; allowing buyers to see the property to its maximum potential and giving them a realistic insight into their new home.
Enjoying a prime East London position, halfway between the city and Canary Wharf, is The Kiln Works. Here, buyers can view a stylish one-bedroom show-apartment and gain a tangible idea of what they can expect from a home at this versatile multi-tenure scheme in the heart of Limehouse E1.
Designed to blend style with functionality, and with a clear industrial-style influence, the Shared Ownership show-apartment demonstrates our discerning attention to detail with generous internal layouts, a polished specification, and a welcome expanse of private outdoor space. Cleverly dressed by Abode Interiors, this apartment reflects the creativity of the surrounding area, whilst using a range of materials that would fit well within a first-time buyer budget.
