Square Roots was awarded Registered Provider status last year following its establishment by London Square as an independent provider, to deliver much-needed affordable homes for shared ownership and for affordable rent across Greater London. 

At a glittering ceremony at The Dorchester Hotel in London’s Park Lane, Square Roots scooped the top trophy for the best shared ownership scheme for its inaugural scheme, Square Roots Kingston, a collection of stylish apartments in two low rise attractive brick buildings set in landscaped gardens, just a short walk from Richmond Park, and close to Kingston town centre. Every apartment features private outside space. Launched in spring this year, Square Roots Kingston is now sold out and the first residents have moved into their new homes. London Square was the delivery partner on the scheme.

The judges were “wowed by a specification and finish most private developers would be proud to deliver – and buyers appeared to agree. They look beautiful, are run with environmentally friendly efficiency, and are cleverly designed to complement modern lifestyles”, according to the Evening Standard in a major feature in the Homes and Property section to highlight the award winners.

Now in its 32^nd year, the awards are judged by an independent panel of property experts who looked for homes and developments that mark the very best in modern housebuilding. There are 16 categories - covering every aspect of the new build market, from first time buyer homes to luxurious mansions, from eco-homes to those with outstanding architectural merit – from boutique to large scale regeneration schemes. 

Strategic Sales Manager Alex Sloane collected the Best Shared Ownership scheme trophy on stage from Joel Dommet, in front of a packed audience from the property industry.

The ES award follows Square Roots success last month at the First Time Buyer Awards, where it won Best Medium Development of the Year for Square - Click here to read article.
