Best Small / Medium Development – Castle & Victoria

Bringing a piece of historic London back to life, Castle & Victoria is a boutique collection of 28 apartments set across four charmingly restored Victorian buildings.

The development presented a unique opportunity to get on the property ladder with Shared Ownership in Westminster – one of London’s most sought after areas.

Homes are designed for the modern buyer, with style and quality at the forefront.  Features of the open-plan apartments include brushed gold kitchen taps and solid core timber flushed doors, all adding to the contemporary feel of the interiors.

Best Marketing Campaign – Could Your Rent Be Better Spent?

The award is for the most innovative marketing campaign, carried out using any form of media, that has helped first time buyers start their property journey.

Aiming to demystify the process of Shared Ownership and empower first-time buyers to choose their own path to home ownership, NHG Homes launched an innovative marketing campaign called 'Could Your Rent Be Better Spent?'.

This campaign was carried out across multiple channels, using social media content, mailers and advertising on third-party platforms to support renters and first time buyers with a digital monthly cost calculator.  This gave buyers the knowledge to decide which route to home ownership was most suitable for them.

The campaign generated over 15,000 website visits and 750 new customer registrations, driving awareness for Shared Ownership and the developments available through this scheme.  It also provided invaluable insight into buyers that will help NHG Homes assist more first time buyers on their homebuying journey.
