Taking your first step on the property ladder is challenging for most Britons but Londoners have it especially hard as they reportedly need to save three times more than buyers elsewhere in the UK.
The seventh annual First Time Buyer Home Show, to be held on 10 October at The Business Design Centre in Islington. The specialist show is designed to address housing issues in the capital and the South East and give aspiring homeowners detailed information about their options in the current market climate.
Hosted by TV celebrity Nicki Chapman, the free-to-attend exhibition has already received hundreds of enquiries and is set to be the biggest event to date.
With a range of exhibitors present on the day, from the supporting sponsor Nationwide to housebuilders including Countryside and Pocket Living, there will be a lot for first time buyers to discover at the specialist show. As well as a range of properties for first timers to look at, free financial advice will be available so that visitors know exactly what they can afford with whatever amount they have saved.
In addition to the information available on the day, one lucky first-time buyer who registers and attends will have the chance of winning £5,000 towards the cost of their first home. Seminars will also be held throughout the day which will explain purchasing schemes, outline legal issues and other homebuying related matters.
Exhibitors on the day include: Nationwide, Centra Living, Experian, Help to Buy, Viridian Housing, Affinity Sutton, Direction Law, Property Checklists, Metropolitan, Lighthouse Mortgages, Southern Homeownership, Beaumont Legal, Site Sales, Genesis Homes, PLFS, Pocket Living, Inspired Homes, TMP Sherwins, Prince Evans Solicitors, Plentific, Countryside, East Thames, Nottinghill Housing, PLS Solicitors, Peabody, Fabrica, Newlon Housing Trust and Lawcomm Solicitors.
