First Time Buyer Home Show offers everything you need to know about getting on the property ladder under one roof

Manchester’s economy is thriving and currently growing by 2.4% a year. Nevertheless, property prices continue to remain below the national average, with the average property in Manchester costing £191,232.

For first time buyers looking for a way to step onto the property ladder, help is at hand because the First Time Buyer Home Show is returning to Manchester for a third successive year.

Everything in the world of buying homes will be up for discussion, from mortgage and legal advice, to a range of properties currently available to purchase.

There will also be specialists to explain home-buying schemes like shared ownership and the government-backed Help to Buy scheme. Both have become increasingly popular ways of helping first time buyers purchase a home, as they require lower upfront costs than a standalone mortgage.

Brought to you in association with Help to Buy North West and sponsored by Plumlife, a leading north west housing provider, the event will provide all the necessary information to help first time buyers in Manchester and the north west purchase a home. A range of property experts will be on hand to offer support to first time buyers.

“We are excited to bring our First Time Buyer Home Show back to Manchester for the third year running,” says Lynda Clark, editor of First Time Buyer Magazine.

“The event is a fantastic opportunity for first time buyers to learn more about purchasing their first home with free advice on hand from a wide range of experts. With all the necessary information under one roof, first time buyers can save hours of time trawling around on the internet or on the streets of Manchester. We understand that being a first time buyer can be a daunting experience. By coming along to the show, they will be able to have all their questions answered.”

As well as Plumlife and Help to Buy North West, exhibitors on the day include Delph, Which Finance, Direction Law, Redwing Living, Snugg Living, Garden City Homes, and Equity Living. Others in attendance include Nationwide, Morris Homes, Laurus Homes, Gecko Homes, Forty/8, heylo, Onward Homes, Together Housing and Trafford Housing Trust.

“The structure of the event really does alleviate stress for first time buyers looking to buy their first home,” says Lynda. “With everything at hand and all under one roof in a very relaxed format, the show is sure to save aspiring homebuyers time and reduce confusion.

“First time buyers can relax and absorb all of the information that they need, and leave feeling confident that they can take the next steps towards owning their first home.”

Alongside the exhibitors, there will also be a series of seminars held throughout the day, offering further insight into certain areas of homebuying. Amongst many others, Plumlife will be exhibiting its brand new development, Arkwright Place, consisting of 131 homes in Gorton. The attractive new development comprises of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes and are for outright sale and shared ownership; an ideal first home.

“The First Time Buyer Home Show is a useful opportunity for aspirational first time buyers to find out all they need to know when purchasing a home,” says Plumlife sales manager Edyta Cummings, Sales Manager.

“It can sometimes be difficult to know where to start, so by offering support and advice in a casual environment, we can be sure to help first time buyers start their homebuying journey.”

The First Time Buyer Home Show takes place at Lancashire County Cricket Club on Saturday 15th September and is free to attend.
