L&Q Take Home Four Awards at the First Time Buyer Magazine Readers’ Awards 2024
We are extremely proud to announce that we picked up four awards at this year’s First Time Buyer Magazine Readers’ Awards, winning Best Marketing Campaign, Best First Time Buyer Family Home and Best New Development in the North. We also received a Highly Commended for Best Partnership.
A prestigious event in the industry calendar, these awards showcase the best affordable new homes from across the country, and we were up against tough competition.
Our winning Marketing Campaign, A November to Remember, was a campaign that is about people, for people. We ran this back in November 2023 and were thrilled to see that it helped more first-time buyers onto the ladder than any initiative we have ever delivered.
Named Best First Time Buyer Family Home, The Penrith at Beauchamp Park in Warwick is the epitome of a family home. Surrounded by pockets of woodland and lush English countryside, the Penrith is an affordable four-bedroom family home that doesn’t compromise on quality or space. Available through Shared Ownership, The Penrith was designed to support local families onto the housing ladder, with few other family-sized Shared Ownership homes available in the affluent surrounding area.
Whalley Manor in Lancashire, our joint venture with Lovell Homes, won Best Development in the North. This 117-home scheme sees generously sized two- to five- bedrooms homes set around 10 acres of open public space, boasting views across the rolling hillside and beyond.
Highly commended in the Best Partnership category was Hive Homes, a joint venture between 10 Greater Manchester-based RPs, including Trafford Housing, now part of L&Q. Working exclusively in partnership with various local authorities across Greater Manchester to deliver high-quality homes, Hive Homes is a traditional housebuilding company, where profits are put back to investors to deliver further affordable housing.
Congratulations to our hardworking teams who continue to work tirelessly to support first time buyers onto the ladder, and a big thank you to the First Time Buyer judges, and all those who voted for us in the awards!
