Here are five reasons to join us this February
1. Discover your affordable homeownership options
Did you know that on Share to Buy alone, there are over 10 different home-buying schemes that have helped thousands of people buy their own homes when they couldn’t afford to buy on the open market? Homebuyers Day is a welcoming and informative space where you can explore your options with no pressure and no commitment.
You’ll find easy-to-understand information on schemes like Shared Ownership. You can compare them side by side and get clear, jargon-free answers from experts who specialise in affordable homeownership.
This isn’t merely another sales event – it’s a chance to ask questions, get confident and start planning at your own pace. Whether you’re years away or nearly ready to buy, you’ll walk away feeling more empowered and informed to progress on your journey to homeownership.
2. Get clear answers from housing experts and leading providers
At Homebuyers Day Exeter, you can get free one-to-one advice from mortgage advisors, housing providers, and legal professionals in a relaxed and friendly environment. It’s your chance to find out what you can actually afford based on your income, deposit and monthly budget.
Many of us have big questions when it comes to buying a home:
- “How much do I need to save?”
- “Am I eligible for Shared Ownership?”
- “What are the legal steps?”
- “Can I afford to live in the area I want?”
At the event, you can get answers straight from the source. You’ll be able to meet trusted housing providers, legal specialists and financial experts like Bluegate Mortgages, Centurion Place, Just Mortgages, Legal & General Affordable Homes, LiveWest, Mortgage Advice Bureau, Plymouth Community Homes/SO Living, Shared Direction Conveyancing and Sovereign Network Group (SNG), all ready to talk through your needs and goals. One thing’s for sure, you’ll be in expert hands.
3. Learn something new with free educational resources
Buying a home can feel like a maze – particularly when it’s your first time – but Homebuyers Day Exeter is here to guide you through the process. That’s why attendees can access a range of expert-led guidance, all focused on making the home-buying process clearer and more manageable.
From improving your credit score and securing a mortgage to understanding staircasing and leasehold, these expert insights break things down into simple, practical steps. The best part? It’s all completely free and packed with value, so you can focus on learning what matters most to you and feeling confident about your next move.
4. Meet the people who will guide your journey
When the process feels overwhelming, a real conversation can make all the difference. Meeting the people behind the process can help it feel a little less daunting and more achievable. Homebuyer Day is your opportunity to connect with real people, have honest conversations, and feel truly supported in your search.
You can speak face-to-face with teams from the leading housing associations, specialist legal and financial advisors, and affordable home-buying experts who understand the realities of buying a property through alternative routes. Whether you’re a key worker, a parent planning to upsize, a mature buyer looking to downsize, or someone with specialist housing needs, you’ll be welcomed with empathy and understanding. Our exhibitors are dedicated to guiding budding buyers like yourself towards tangible housing opportunities in what we know is a challenging housing market.
You can browse virtual tours, explore floor plans, ask questions about specific developments and even discover neighbourhoods you hadn’t considered. And if your finances are a big roadblock for you and you’d like to gain clarity around how you can improve your credit score, or you’re struggling to save a deposit, whatever your financial situation is, our mortgage brokers will help you walk away with more clarity.
It’s not just about prices and plots, it’s about picturing your future.
5. Be the first to see new developments and access exclusive launches
Housing providers often use Share to Buy Live events as an opportunity to reveal new homes and developments for the very first time, giving attendees a chance to register interest early and even gain priority access.
If you’re eager to get ahead of the crowd, this is your opportunity to explore exclusive launches, early-bird incentives and upcoming phases across Devon and the South West. With a line-up of top housing providers under one roof, it’s the most efficient (and exciting!) way to discover what’s coming soon.
Since 2013, our events have helped over 83,000 buyers take their next step towards homeownership.
