‘Anyone looking to buy a home for the long term should ignore short term market fluctuations and remember that ‘a home’ is more than just a financial asset, and lifestyle should come first,’ says Michael Holmes, property expert for the Northern Homebuilding & Renovating Show.
Whether you’re looking to move or improve, the South West Homebuilding & Renovating Show, sponsored by Internorm, (18-19 November 2023 at the Bath & West Showground), is promising visitors a show packed with expert advice from specialists in a range of subjects, plus over 140 exhibitors showcasing thousands of products and services, all under one roof, to help homeowners improve, renovate and build their dream homes rather than move.
The exhibitor line-up is extensive to help homeowners bring their projects together, ranging from architects, appliances, building materials, and lighting to garden spaces, timber structures, doors and windows and much more.
Experts in the Masterclass and Seminar Theatres will present on topics ranging from a beginner’s guide to building your own home to getting planning permission as well as the early steps of designing a sustainable home.
Energy efficiency and tackling high energy costs will be high on the agenda with visitors to the Ask the Expert Zone able to talk to specialists about their specific concerns. Eco expert David Hilton will be on hand to de-mystify heat pumps and educate homeowners on how they can make the most of the energy in their homes, save money on bills and reduce their carbon footprint.
The Advice Centre will provide opportunities to book free one-on-one sessions with other property experts, designers, planners and builders including Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine’s specialists Michael Holmes, Allan Corfield, and Sally Tagg as well as quantity surveyor Tim Phillips, and finance expert Tim McSherry from Buildstore.
One-day tickets to the South West Homebuilding & Renovating Show are £8 in advance (children under 16 go free). You can buy tickets here and for more details visit www.somerset.homebuildingshow.co.uk
