FSB: Sector celebrates the success of affordable home ownership.

Housing associations from across England came together on Friday to compete in the first Affordable Home Ownership Awards at a ceremony in London.

Celebrating success, innovation and achievement in the field of low cost home ownership, the awards were organised by representatives of London’s Affordable Home Ownership Group to highlight the good work associations are undertaking to help key workers, first-time buyers and others make that first step onto the housing ladder.

Tower Homes took the title of Affordable Home Ownership Provider of the Year, and other winners included Circle Anglia, A2 Housing Group, Metropolitan Home Ownership and Dominion Housing Group.

The judging panel, including LSE’s Professor Christine Whitehead and Dr Richard Turkington, director of consultancy Housing Vision, were impressed by Tower’s excellent track record as one of London’s HomeBuy agents, and the quality of entries across the board.

The awards were hosted by George Clarke, professional architect and host of Channel 5’s ‘Build a New Life in the Country’, and sponsored by SPF Sherwins and Savills.
