1. River Oaks Homes recieves a Prestgious
Award HOUSEBUILDER River Oaks has been voted one of the UK's best building companies in a national awards scheme. The Brighton-based firm has received a Bronze award in the Best Small Housebuilder category in the What House? Awards 2000, sponsored by The Sunday Times. Known as the Oscars of the housebuilding industry, the What House? Awards are the longest established and most prestigious new homes accolades in the business.
The judges said: "This category is designed to reward small companies combining niche with prestige, while providing value for money. "There is a good feel about this Brighton-based housebuilder, applying family values to a modern outlook. There is a traditional flavour to the homes - oak beams, tile-hanging - but also a 21st century flexibility to layout in terms of rooms." River Oaks won the award after being assessed on every aspect of performance, including design, product range, build quality, value for money, marketing, after-sales service and customer care. This latest accolade follows River Oaks' success in the British Housebuilder Awards when the company was voted a certificate winner by its own housebuyers in recognition of quality of service.
"It is a tribute to our philosophy of concentrating on quality rather than quantity, our use of traditional features, such as solid timber porches, doors and staircases, plus our emphasis on light, height, space and quality at affordable prices." All River Oaks properties come with a NHBC ten-year building warranty. Ore Place is now all sold. The new 60 property development at Beauport Cove - set in a sought-after area on high ground away from water - has homes for sale ranging in price from £249,950 to £317,500, all offering the ultimate in quality construction and design. Prowtings PLC currently own the land to the East of Beauport Cove and their planning application for further new homes has been referred to a local enquiry. The outcome of this enquiry is still not known, however, it appears from the plans made available to us that all our homes in Beachy Head View, with gardens facing East, will continue to enjoy the view of Hoads Wood, an ancient woodland. A Section 106 Agreement plan between Prowtings and Hastings Borough Council is available for inspection at our Sales Centre, which shows the retention of woodland to a depth ranging from 30 to 80 metres.
