Help to Buy Show comes to the
City
THE 1st ever Help to Buy Show Liverpool is set to take place at
the BT Convention Centre, on Saturday 5 September and will connect potential
buyers in Southport with all the information they need to purchase an affordable
home.
Following on from the successful Help to Buy Show Manchester which took place at
Manchester Central earlier this year and saw nearly 1000 people attend, the
government appointed agent for Help to Buy North West, Plus Dane, will host the
event.
Help to Buy is a government scheme to make home-ownership more accessible. The
Help to Buy equity loan scheme and Mortgage Guarantee scheme make it possible to
buy a new build home with just a 5% deposit, and both schemes are open to 1st
time buyers and second steppers.
Over 390 homes have been purchased in Sefton under the scheme since 2013.
There will be 30 exhibitors at the Help to Buy Show Liverpool, offering legal
and financial advice. In addition, representatives from housing developers will
be on hand with information about their latest projects in the North West area,
such as Redrow, which owns a new development in the village of Banks, consisting
of 3 and 4 bed homes in the popular location between Southport and Preston.
Sandy Kelly, head of Help to Buy North West says:- "We're really pleased
to bring the next Help to Buy Show to Liverpool. We hope to build on the success
of the Manchester show and provide more help to hopeful homeowners across the
North West region. The show really is a unique opportunity for prospective
buyers to be able to speak to a range of advisers in the same room about
purchasing a new home. Visitors will get the chance to meet financial advisers,
legal representatives and agents from different housing developments to find out
more about Help to Buy and the process of buying a house."
To date, Help to Buy has helped nearly 94,000 people take their first step on
the property ladder and has had a particularly positive impact in the North
West.
Sandy then added that:- "It's brilliant that nearly 94,000 people have been made
homeowners through the Help to Buy Scheme. Home ownership is a dream for many
people and the Help to Buy Show Liverpool is a key way of spreading the message
of how prospective buyers can get closer to that dream."
