About this Event

Ever thought "I wish they taught me this at school"? Buying a home can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve never done it before. It’s a major milestone, a significant cost, and for many, it may only happen once in a lifetime, if at all. How do we find a way to home ownership in an inequitable housing system?

Secure housing is increasingly in the hands of the privileged, but at Nightingale, we believe everyone deserves access to secure housing and the knowledge to help make it more possible. One of the biggest barriers? Simply understanding how the system works, financial requirements, government schemes, lead times, confusing jargon, and where to even start.

Please join us for ‘How to Buy a Home', a practical information session designed to build confidence and provide clear, useful tools for anyone thinking about home ownership, now or in the future.

We’ll be joined by expert Brendan Dixon from Pure Finance, who’ll help us answer:

  • How do mortgages work?
  • How much deposit do I really need?
  • What Government schemes and support can I access?
  • Can I buy a home with a friend or family member?
  • How much can I borrow?
  • Who should I talk to about finding the right mortgage for me?
  • Should I buy off-the-plan or an established home?
  • What is ethical banking?
  • Do you have some quick tips to start saving?
  • And how to take the first steps?

We’ll cover all kinds of housing, not just Nightingale, and aim to give you confidence to navigate the process, whether you're buying in 1 year or 15.

There will be time for Q&A at the end of the session. This will be an in person only event.

Drinks and snacks will be available from the venue.

The venue is wheelchair accesible. If you require an interpreter or have other accesibility requirements please let us know when you book a ticket.
