Make Yourself At Home At The Royal Norfolk Show

Orbit First Step Home Buy Agency promoting affordable housing across the region

An agricultural show may not be the most likely place to find yourself a brand new home, but once again Orbit First Step will be hosting a stand at the Royal Norfolk Show to promote low-cost home ownership in the region.

The event takes place on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd July at the Norfolk Showground in Dereham Road, Costessey. Gates open from 8am.

As the government appointed HomeBuy Agent for Norfolk and Suffolk , Orbit First Step acts as the one stop shop in low cost housing options for people who want to take their first step towards home ownership. They will be joined by Broadland Housing at the show and together they will be on hand to talk about the range of HomeBuy products designed to help people in all sorts of situations to take their first step onto the property ladder. This will include New Build HomeBuy (formerly known as shared ownership), and Rent to HomeBuy which gives people an opportunity to initially move into the house they wish to purchase as a tenant, paying a hugely discounted rent while they save for a deposit towards a mortgage.

Orbit First Step’s HomeBuy Team Manger, Karen Coleman said: “The Norfolk Show wouldn’t be the first place you would think of to look for a new home. However, it is an incredibly popular event in the region and attracts around 90,000 visitors so it is an ideal venue for our friendly team of staff to meet potential new clients. We’ve attended the show over the past few years and our joint stand with Broadland Housing has always attracted a lot of interest from those seeking affordable housing – many of whom are now living in their own homes as a result of their visit to our stand.

“Whether you are a Key Worker, a first time buyer, are looking for a new home following a relationship breakdown, or are otherwise in housing need and you are going to the show, why not pop along and say hello? We will happily show you the properties we currently have available and explain to you the various products available to help you purchase your new home. We’re looking forward to seeing you.”
