WELCOME
WELCOME TO NATIONAL HOME BUYING WEEK 2023
Our ambition at First Time Buyer is to try to help as many people as we can on to the housing ladder with the chance to buy their dream home. We know that the home buying process can be very complicated to navigate, especially if you haven’t done it before. That is why National Home Buying Week is so important – we want to help, inform and educate first timers and explain everything in easy-to-understand language, which is jargon free, putting all the information you need in one place to help you on the journey to homeownership. This year, National Home Buying Week ran from 2-6 October 2023, and proved to be highly successful. We now bring you this extra supplement, which we hope you will find useful. At nationalhomebuyingweek.co.uk , you will find our website, which is full of useful information, handy guides and educational videos, plus there are highlighted developments from our partners to inspire you with the homes that are available around the country. There are also podcasts, a webinar with a panel of property-related experts, and a super film featuring three first time buyers who each have a different story to tell about their home buying journey. We really want everyone to experience that special moment when you are finally able to unlock the door of your first home. We are dedicated to help you do just that. With the help of our little mascot, Stickman, who appears in some wonderful short animated videos on our website, highlighting all the key topics in very simple terms, we are sure you will find everything you need to know there. We are also very excited that we joined forces with property finder and content creator Lexie Carducci, who has over 17,000 followers on Instagram and is passionate about property. She gives a
masterclass on how to view a property, visits a lovely development from SO Resi and gives hints and tips, including what questions to ask and things to look out for. She also explains what shared ownership is all about and highlights some hotspots around the country that first time buyers might consider looking at when buying their first home. We would especially like to thank our Supporting Sponsor SO Resi and give a very big thank you, too, to all our partners who have joined with us to make the 2023 National Home Buying Week extra special. I do hope that you enjoy the supplement and spend time on our website discovering all the facts and knowledge you will need when you start the exciting road to buying your first home. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, answering your questions and listening to your feedback. Please do go to nationalhomebuyingweek.co.uk and
discover for yourself! Happy House Hunting
