The apartment should offer flexible living and convenience and successfully meet the needs of the target market.

Best Renovation & Conversion

This recognises an enterprising development or sympathetic conversion of a dated or derelict property which retains the best features of the original building while creating a modern home appropriate to 21st century living. Judges will consider the exterior and interior appearance as well as interesting adaptation of original features.

Affordable Housing Development of the Year – sponsored by NHBC

Consideration will be given to the use of sustainable materials and building techniques, as well as the development’s impact on the local environment.

Judges will be looking for evidence on how the team has distinguished itself from the competition and how their efforts have contributed to the overall company’s success.

Residential Sales Team of the Year

Buying and selling property is recognised as one of the more stressful activities in life. A good sales team can do much to ease the stress as well as achieving a successful outcome for all parties.

Green Housing Award – sponsored by Lowther, part of Wheatley Group

New for 2022! As we head towards a zero carbon future this category aims to recognise those who have already begun that journey and are today delivering a product which is ready for the future challenges. The purchase of a property is a long term investment and choices made today have long term effects. Homes created must however still meet the needs of occupiers. Entries will be judged on the quality of design, layout, location, features and specification, local amenities (reduction on car dependence) energy efficiency, green aspects (non carbon heating, solar/wind generation, future proofing, recycyling, electric vehicle charging points).

FAQ

The awards are open to all companies building and developing in Scotland. Properties or development phases entered in any category should have been completed between May 2021 and May 2022. If you are submitting a development, the first phase must have been completed between these dates.

Properties in the Best Show Home category must still be functioning show homes when judges conduct their site visits in from June 9 – August 2.

The entry deadline is Thursday, June 9. The entry deadline applies to property & team entries.

The entry fee is £55 + VAT per entry. Payment for entries is taking upon submitting your entry. Early bird entry fees are £65 + VAT per entry for a limited time only.

Tickets to attend the ceremony are £175 + VAT. Tables of ten are available at £1550 + VAT.

The judging process will involve site visits to properties and developments. The judges’ decision will be final, and no correspondence will be entered, or feedback provided – you will find more information on the judging process below:

Once your entry has been received and paid for it will be put forward to our judging panel.

Two judges will be allocated to every property for site visits and will contact you directly so please ensure you provide the correct contact details of the person who they can arrange this with.

Please note that all judges work independently so you will be required to conduct two site visits – one for each judge. These may be on different days. Our judges liaise directly with the relevant site contact to ensure dates and times are suitable for all parties.

Judges will conduct site visits between June and early August. Any property unable to be seen during this time will be disqualified.

Where possible, we would ask that physical site visits are taken place following current government guidelines. Any particular information in relation to site visits and site rules must be made aware to the judge ahead of their visit.

Where a physical site visit is not possible, the judges will arrange a video conference call with yourselves. They ask that you have facilities to virtually tour the property/development along with ability to still liaise with the site contact during this time. This allows for the judges and entrants to be able to discuss and question the property upon viewing.

If you have any questions in relation to site visits, please make sure you contact Events Manager, Stephen Laughlin on 0141 302 6050 or by email stephen.laughlin@newsquest.co.uk ahead of submitting your entry.

Once site visits have been completed judges will gather to discuss their scores from the site visits.

If you submitted an entry for any of the below category’s judges will be sent your entry information ahead of the judging day and no site visit is required.

• Property Team of the Year
• Residential Sales Team of the Year
• Residential Letting Team of the Year
• Estate Agency of the Year
• Interior Design Project of the Year

You will then be contacted mid-late August on the outcome of your entry.

The shortlist will be listed in The Herald, Scotland’s Homes and on this website mid-August.

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony taking place on Thursday, September 29 at Doubletree by Hilton, Glasgow Central. More information on the event and tickets can be found in the ‘The Awards Ceremony’ section above.

We are happy to answer any additional questions you may have regarding the entry process or event. Please contact Events Manager, Stephen Laughlin on 0141 302 6050 or stephen.laughlin@newsquest.co.uk with all enquires.
