Housing Plymouth event returns

Housing Plymouth, Plymouth’s biggest housing event is coming back to the Piazza for a second year.

Housing Plymouth is a free open event, for anyone to come along and explore their housing options.

The housing market used to be simple, you either rented or you bought. However, there are new schemes and initiatives such as Help to Buy, Shared Ownership and Rent to Buy, which are dominating the new market and becoming more popular.

Hosted by the Plymouth Housing Development Partnership (PHDP) which is made up of the top housing providers from across the city, Housing Plymouth is bringing together even more of Plymouth major players from housing industry, to show off the options they have to offer.

The event takes place on Saturday 18 June between 10am and 4pm on the Piazza in the city centre and will give people the chance to speak to an expert and explore all their housing options.

There will be a prize draw for an iPad Mini and a £50 Love2Shop voucher for people that attend the event and complete a housing survey.

Jill Gregg, Chair of the PHDP said “Last year‘s event was so successful, we had hardly got the marquee down before we were planning how to make this year bigger and better! Housing Plymouth is aimed at anyone in Plymouth who wants to explore their housing options. We have all the information needed for those looking to rent or buy for the first time, save for a deposit or even if you’re interested in a career in the construction industry.”

Councillor Steve Ricketts, Cabinet Member for Transport and Housing for Plymouth City Council, said: “This is a great event and it will be a fantastic opportunity for people to network and find out about different types of housing in Plymouth.

“I would encourage anyone that wants a home in Plymouth to attend this event and get information about what’s available. We’re very happy to support this event working alongside the local housing providers. ”
