Magnificent 7: Housebuilders in the South Coast region
The South Coast is home to some of the country’s most incredible housebuilders.
Successful housebuilding in the region has to take account of environmental issues, and a need for community engagement. It has to have real economic benefit, respecting the local environment and showing how good design can create places where people want to live, both young and old.
We are once again on the hunt for the Housebuilder of the Year as a part of the South Coast Property Awards 2025.
Sponsored by MSP Capital, this award will be presented to the nominee who is best able to impress our independent judges through their good design, resilience and excellent final results.
But with so many potential winners working tirelessly to better the landscape of the region every day, who will take home the trophy?
Here are 7 housebuilders who could enter and have a chance of being named among the best-of-the-best:
