New schemes could help you get a foot on the ladder

With the current economic climate making it ever more difficult for people to afford their own home, you may be among the growing number of people who have all but given up on your dream of getting onto the property ladder. However, before you abandon your home-ownership plans you should come along to an event at Kings Lynn Town Hall between 2pm and 7pm on Friday 12 June.

Organised by Orbit First Step, the HomeBuy Agent for Norfolk and Suffolk, the drop-in event will highlight a variety of schemes that are available to help, whether you are a first time buyer, a Key Worker, looking for a new home after a relationship breakdown or otherwise in housing need.

As well as promoting its own range of properties, the event will also be attended by other registered social landlords operating in the region, including Freebridge Community Housing and Circle Anglia. Independent Financial Advisors will also be on hand to provide free, no-obligation advice to those who require it, so you’ll have the opportunity to discuss a wide range of homes and get expert advice about low-cost home ownership – all under one roof.

All visitors to the event will have the opportunity to enter a free prize draw to win £100 of shopping vouchers.

HomeBuy Agency Team Manager, Karen Coleman said: “These events are invaluable to would-be homebuyers, giving you a unique opportunity to talk to a variety of knowledgeable, affordable housing providers and independent financial advisors in a relaxed environment. You can find out more about the various schemes that are available to help you move into your new home, including the popular New Build HomeBuy (shared ownership) scheme. Perhaps more importantly, you can also discuss your eligibility for these schemes and, as many others have done, you may be surprised to discover that we can actually help you. Why not come along and have an informal chat with us? You have nothing to lose, and you may be pleasantly surprised by what you learn.”
