Stephensons Solicitors LLP will be taking a team of experts to a national event designed to give first time buyers a lift onto the property ladder.
Stephensons’ specialist residential property solicitors will be on hand to advise those would-be buyers attending the show from 10am until 5pm.
The event is set to be the key First Time Buyer event of the year, with high profile property figures such as TV property stars Colin and Justin, Jonny Benarr of To Buy Or Not To Buy and Martin Roberts of Homes Under The Hammer, presenting seminars on the day.
The First Time Buyer Home Show will have over 50 exhibitors, including Stephensons, private developers, independent financial advisors, furniture companies, interior designers and estate agents. It offers information and support to those seeking to get on the property ladder, with exhibitors showcasing new homes, shared ownership and shared equity schemes, mortgage and financial advice as well as legal advice.
Stephensons, which advises thousands of home movers every year around the country, has expert experience in helping first time buyers purchase their first home through shared ownership and shared equity schemes and will be able to talk home buyers through the conveyancing process on the day. The firm is also adept at helping first time buyers who purchase repossessed homes or buy through an auction.
Stephensons can also work with developers who offer shared ownership, by providing conveyancing on a volume basis to reduce the cost and time it takes to complete a transaction.
Tom Bridge, managing partner of residential property at Stephensons, said: “Being a first time buyer in the current climate can be difficult. Deposits need to be larger, there is less access to finance and house prices are stagnant. But there are many options open to serious first time buyers who want to make the move to home ownership.
“This show is a great opportunity for people to get the advice that they need when buying their first home. We can help advise first time buyers on a whole host of issues including the Government schemes available to them.“
Visit Stephensons’ residential property team at the First Time Buyers Home Show, Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden, London on Saturday 23rd October.
