North Lincolnshire’s second annual Homeownership Expo will take place on Saturday 21 March at the Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire, for residents to find out everything they need to know about getting on, or moving up the property ladder.
The expo – which will take place at the UTC in Church Square, Scunthorpe from 11am to 2pm – has been organised by North Lincolnshire Council, Ongo, Sills and Betteridge Solicitors, and Smooth Financial Solutions.
This free event is suitable for everyone on any rung of the property ladder, from first-time buyers to down-sizers. There will also be advice for those looking to buy a second property to let.
Visitors to the expo can meet with estate agents, mortgage providers, solicitors, banks and building societies, insurance companies, removal companies, house builders and more for advice and guidance on every stage of the house-buying process.
People interested in attending should register on Eventbrite.

Ongo have joined the team organising the event for the first time for 2020. Lesley Warburton, Home Ownership Manager at Ongo, said: “We’re really excited to be part of this expo as it’s such a great way to find out everything you need to know about becoming a homeowner. It’s going to be a one stop shop for everything you need to know about buying a house.
“We’ll be showcasing our rent to buy homes which are ideal for those looking to get on the property ladder but don’t currently have a deposit saved, so be sure to come and chat to us at the event.”
