Scottish Home Awards Unveil 2023 Finalists

The Scottish Home Awards have announced the finalists for their 16th annual national competition honouring excellence in the housing and new build sector have been revealed.

Sponsored by Ross & Liddell, over 140 entries were judged in 19 categories by the highly regarded judging panel, which represented organisations from across Scotland.

Colin Cumberland, head of residential at Ediston Real Estate and chair of the Scottish Home Awards judging panel, said: "Judging the submissions this year has once again been a really rewarding experience because there were such a wide variety of homes in the competition. We were able to evaluate the numerous outstanding instances of excellence in design, customer service, and renovation thanks to the number of entries received, and we were able to highlight some outstanding examples of sustainability in the housing industry.

"The Scottish Home Awards is without a doubt a highly respected competition with the winning developers able to increase their sales opportunities and advising their customers of this success."

Andrew Cunningham, Managing Director of Ross & Liddell, commented: "The Scottish Home Awards recognise and honour the people and teams that work continuously within both the public and private sectors to deliver, varied and creative housing developments, addressing the need for high-quality homes across Scotland. It is encouraging to review, and reflect on, the outstanding work being undertaken in Scotland's housing industry and highlight, and reward, those companies, and organisations, successfully meeting the challenges impacting housing development and raising the bar in what can be achieved. Discussions on this year’s submissions were detailed, and robust, and provided an insight into the specifics of each award category and the strength in depth of entries. I'd like to extend my gratitude to Ediston Real Estate for hosting the judging day and to my fellow Judges who, after much discussion, selected the deserving finalists.

"Ross and Liddell would like to congratulate all of the finalists for their accomplishments, and we are extremely proud to continue our support of their achievements."
