London Home Show: FOUR WEEKS TO GO!

Explore your options with Barratt London, L&Q, Peabody New Homes and more top providers.

In just four weeks, the doors of the QEII Centre in Westminster will open once again to welcome thousands of aspiring homeowners to the London Home Show Autumn 2025. Hosted by Share to Buy Live (the events sub-brand from Share to Buy, the country’s leading affordable homeownership portal), this free event is the UK’s biggest exhibition for first time buyers and those exploring affordable housing options – and with just under one month to go, now’s the perfect time to secure your ticket.

If you’ve been thinking about getting on the property ladder, here’s why this autumn’s show could be the moment that makes things click.

The market is shifting

The housing market has been through its share of ups and downs in recent years, but right now, buyers are seeing glimmers of opportunity.

• Mortgage rates are easing, giving first time buyers a little more breathing room after a period of higher costs. Even a small reduction in rates can make a big difference to monthly repayments, improving affordability and helping more buyers feel confident about exploring their options.
• Asking prices have dipped, with the average listing down by almost £5,000 in a single month. Add a boost in housing supply, and conditions are shifting in buyers’ favour. If you’re saving for a deposit, lower prices mean your money may stretch further – even if the wider cost of living makes saving tough. If you’re ready to buy soon, more homes on the market could mean more choice and less competition, helping to keep prices in check.
• Rents in Greater London have dipped for the first time in years – a sign that affordability pressures are beginning to ease, and a reminder that saving for homeownership could now go further.

For many, this combination makes autumn a smart moment to explore the market. And there’s no better place to do that than at the London Home Show, where over 35 exhibitors specialising in homeownership – from housing providers to financial and legal experts – will be on hand to support you under one roof.

Learn about new protections and policies

Homeownership schemes continue to evolve, and this year’s event is well-timed to give you clarity on some important changes.

The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act means Shared Ownership leaseholders may soon be able to extend their lease to 990 years with far less red tape, a win for long-term security and affordability. Meanwhile, the upcoming Renters’ Rights Bill is set to bring new protections for shared owners and renters alike.

At the London Home Show, you’ll be able to ask experts exactly what these policy updates mean for you, whether you’re just starting to research or preparing to buy.

Bust myths and misconceptions

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll never be able to afford a home in London,” or “these schemes are too complicated,” you’re not alone. Myths like these hold thousands of people back from even starting their journey.

The London Home Show is the perfect place to set the record straight. Experts will be on hand to answer your questions, explain how the schemes really work, and show you what’s possible based on your circumstances. You’ll hear clear, plain-English explanations, not technical jargon, and have the chance to ask follow-up questions until it all makes sense.

From clearing up confusion about deposits to explaining how staircasing works once you’ve bought, the event is about replacing uncertainty with clarity so you can make decisions with confidence, not guesswork.

The goal isn’t just for you to collect information. It’s for you to leave knowing exactly what your next step should be, with the confidence to take it.

More than an event – a community

From the moment you step through the doors, you’ll feel the buzz of being surrounded by people on the same journey. Everyone is here to learn, to ask questions, and to leave feeling more empowered with knowledge about their options.

It’s not just about gathering leaflets or listening to seminars – it’s about finding the right path for you. And that’s what makes the London Home Show so special: the chance to make informed decisions in a space designed for support.
