Hundreds of budding homebuyers across the North West are expected to flock to the Manchester Home Show on Saturday 31st May to find out more about getting onto the property ladder.
Hosted by Share to Buy, the country's no.1 property portal dedicated to affordable homeownership, the Manchester Home Show will be the first of its kind in the North West. The show follows in the footsteps of its sister events, the long-running London Home Show and the newer Bristol Home Show, which have seen over 80,000 attendees over the past 10 years.
Free to attend, guests will have access to a plethora of in-depth information about alternative home-buying schemes, including Shared Ownership, Deposit Unlock, Rent to Buy and more. Industry expert exhibitors on the day will include show sponsors Gecko Homes, L&Q, Places for People, Plumlife Homes and Tembo. Attendees will also be able to chat to independent mortgage advisors and conveyancing solicitors for financial and legal advice.
Alongside some of the biggest names in the affordable housing industry, a programme of live sessions will run throughout the day. Expert-led workshops and seminars will be hosted by Places for People, Tembo and Moduliv. Share to Buy’s Head of Brand & Content, Jade Turnstill, will be running a session on ‘home-buying hacks’, following an extremely popular debut at the London Home Show.
Jade Turnstill comments: “We’re extremely excited to take the home show to the North West. The Manchester Home Show marks the second Share to Buy event outside of the capital and underscores our commitment to making affordable homeownership more accessible across the UK. Whether attendees are just beginning their journey or ready to make a move, the Manchester Home Show will provide the guidance and support to help them find their ideal home.”
Sponsors of the Manchester Home Show, L&Q, Places for People, Gecko Homes and Plumlife Homes, are currently selling new properties in and around Manchester, which guests at the Manchester Home Show will be able to find out more about and even register their interest on the day.
