An independent team of industry experts will assess all entries based on the submission documents. They will then identify which properties should be visited for more detailed scrutiny.

An industry expert will visit the home or development entered and assess it under a range of different quality criteria. You will be notified if your entry has been taken forward to this stage of the competition and access is required. Visits will take place during July and August 2024, so please ensure that the judge will be able to gain access to both the inside and outside of the property if it is selected for viewing.

After all the visits are completed, the expert judges will compile a shortlist of properties that will go forward to the final judging stage. All successful shortlistees will be notified.

The judges will jointly consider all the shortlisted entries and choose a “Winner” for each category. The winners will be announced at a ceremony taking place on September 27 2024 at The Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane.
