First-Time Buyer Weekend – 14th & 15th November
Thinking about buying your first home? Start here.
Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, but it can also come with plenty of questions. How much deposit will you need? What could you afford? Which mortgage might be right for you? And what support is available?
Join us at participating Hopkins Homes developments on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th November for our First-Time Buyer Weekend.
Whether you are just beginning to save, starting to explore your options or already looking for the right home, our friendly Sales Team will be here to help make your next step feel clearer.
Take your first step with confidence
You do not need to have everything worked out before visiting us.
Our First-Time Buyer Weekend is an opportunity to ask questions, understand the buying journey and explore the new homes that could be right for you.
During your visit, you can:
-
Talk to our Sales Team about buying your first home
-
Explore the homes and developments available
-
Learn more about deposits, mortgages and affordability
-
Discover the support available on selected Hopkins homes
-
Hear the latest information about the Government’s Your First Home scheme
-
Find out what happens from your first enquiry through to receiving your keys
-
Be introduced to an independent mortgage adviser if required
No question is too small. We will take the time to understand where you are in your journey and help you identify your next step.
Find out what the latest announcements could mean for you
The Government’s Your First Home announcement has brought renewed attention to the support available for first-time buyers.
The proposed scheme is expected to help eligible first-time buyers in England purchase a qualifying new-build home with a deposit of at least 2.5%, supported by a 20% government-backed equity loan and a mortgage for the remaining amount.
Detailed eligibility requirements, property price limits, the launch timetable and participating developers and homes are subject to confirmation.
At our First-Time Buyer Weekend, our Sales Team can share the latest information available and help you understand where to find further guidance. Hopkins Homes’ participation in Your First Home has not yet been confirmed.
Support may already be available
You may not need to wait for a new scheme before starting your search.
On selected Hopkins homes, we could contribute up to 5% of the purchase price towards your deposit. This could reduce the amount you need to provide from your own savings, help you move sooner or allow you to keep more aside for moving costs and making your new home your own.
Our Sales Team can explain the assistance currently available at your preferred development and help you explore the homes that could suit your budget.
Why choose a new home for your first home?
Buying new can bring valuable reassurance when you are taking your first step into homeownership.
With a new Hopkins home, you could benefit from:
-
No onward chain: There is no existing homeowner to wait for, helping to make the buying process more straightforward.
-
Greater energy efficiency: Modern insulation, glazing and heating systems can help reduce the energy needed to keep your home comfortable.
-
Fewer immediate maintenance jobs: You can settle in without inheriting someone else’s list of repairs or renovation projects.
-
A 10-year new-home warranty: Providing added reassurance and protection as you begin your homeownership journey.
-
A chance to personalise: Depending on the build stage, you may be able to choose selected finishes and make your first home feel like your own before moving in.
-
Space for the future: Carefully considered layouts can provide room to work, relax, welcome friends and family and adapt as your needs change.
