(1888PressRelease) November 23, 2010 - Essex-based property developer Weston Homes has been crowned Housebuilder of the Year at the What House? Awards 2010. The company also secured a third successive Best Medium Housebuilder Gold award at the gala event, dubbed the Oscars of the housebuilding industry.
The What House? Awards judges said: "Weston Homes builds and designs very well; it shows boldness and initiative, it focuses on its customers and its staff. But this award goes beyond just product and performance and looks at leadership from the top downwards and a commitment to promoting the industry and standing up for new homes and better ways to get things done." Weston was described as: "salt of the earth with a sprinkling of stardust."
For the second year running, Berkeley Group won Gold for both the Best Large Housebuilder and the Best Sustainable Developer of the Year. Taking silver for Best Large Housebuilder were Redrow Homes, widely lauded for their innovative Redrow TV marketing tool and New Heritage Collection homes, and Bovis Homes, whose Perfect 10 mortgage initiative has helped numerous buyers purchase a new-build home with a 10% deposit and competitive interest rate.
