Youth Home Owner Awards 2025: London’s Property Hall of Shame

A celebration of the landlords, developers, and management companies making housing hell for a generation.

This year, the Museum of Homelessness is thrilled to partner with the Youth Home Owner Awards 2025 - a gloriously unglamorous prize-giving ceremony devised by young people in our youth campaigning collective fighting for housing justice.

These awards were created by young Londoners who know the housing crisis firsthand. They’re here to honour the true pioneers of displacement, greenwashing, and profit-hoarding, the property industry’s worst offenders, whose shiny brochures hide boarded-up flats, evicted families, and communities bulldozed for profit.

From offshore tycoons funding far-right politics to landlords who ghost their tenants when the ceiling caves in, throughout this week you’ll meet the proud winners of the Youth Home Owner Awards 2025, London’s least-wanted.

We’ve already been out celebrating the achievements of some of London’s biggest developers across the streets of West London, and the winners are:

Public Asset Extractor: Nick Candy

for harvesting public money into off-shore bank accounts

Eviction Excellence: Notting Hill Genesis

for prioritising private developments over communities

Step-Free Sell Out Award: Crabtree Property Management

for trapping a disabled tenant upstairs for weeks because you didn’t fix the lift

Ghost Landlord Award: Clarion Housing Group

for consistently vanishing when your tenants need you most

Greenwash Buzzword Award: Berkeley Group

for using greenwashing to distract for community displacement

Social Cleansing Award: Lendlease

for displacing communities through estate regeneration in Southwark and Haringey

Community Clearance Award: Ballymore
