For nearly 60 years, Hyde New Homes has been helping first time buyers on to the property ladder, building homes across a large sweep of the South of England, all the way from Kent through to London and a string of developments along the South Coast.
Built in line with the “Hyde Difference”—which offers a high specification as standard and the support of an expert sales team — Hyde has consistently delivered over 90% customer satisfaction for 12 consecutive years. Reflecting this success, many of its developments have been shortlisted for the First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards, and Hyde itself has been recognised with a nomination for the prestigious Best Housing Association award.
Kingston Wharf in Shoreham-by-Sea has been shortlisted for the Best First Time Buyer Apartment award, with its waterfront Shared Ownership homes showcasing Hyde’s experience at delivering impressive new homes in exciting locations. Every home includes a balcony or terrace, along with individual solar panels as part of the all-electric development. Selected homes also include en suites, allocated parking and EV charging points, to suit a range of first time buyers’ needs.
Hyde’s Shared Ownership homes at Parkside Triangle in Waddon, south London, have been shortlisted for the Best First Time Buyer Family Home award. Thoughtfully located to enjoy easy access to central London from their Zone 5 location, while also enjoying direct access to the lush Duppas Hill Park, the homes include apartments, duplexes and terraced houses, serving families of all shapes and sizes.
Down in Kent, the beautiful Shared Ownership homes at Rochester Riverside have made the Best New Development in the South award shortlist alongside partner, The Vistry Group. The homes enjoy an enviable waterfront location in the heart of Rochester, set within 10 acres of open space, with a central plaza and newly regenerated riverside walk.
Also in Kent, Whitstable Heights has been shortlisted for the Best Show Home award. Perfectly situated to enjoy Whitstable’s beautiful beaches and vibrant town life, the show home was carefully designed with first time buyers in mind – addressing common challenges and offering a style that’s easy to replicate in their own homes. With accents of sun-washed oranges and soft coastal blues, the design captures the spirit of seaside living – striking the perfect balance between affordability and aspiration.
In neighbouring West Sussex, Wildbridge in Yapton has made the Best Off Plan Development award shortlist. Now over 95% sold, the thriving new community features spacious, energy-efficient homes with private turfed gardens, surrounded by picturesque greenery and ideally located close to both the coast and countryside.
This focus on quality and community is also reflected further along the South Coast, where Hyde and Brighton & Hove City Council have been shortlisted for the Best Partnership award.
Developments like Bluebell Heights showcase their collaborative approach — delivering sustainable, energy-efficient homes with a strong sense of local identity, designed to help residents put down roots and truly feel at home.
