The launch of the Newbury Homebuilding & Renovating Show at the Newbury Showground on 23 and 24 June will help homeowners find the right products and services to convert, extend, renovate or build a house from scratch.
Recent research reveals that one of the main motivations for starting a new building project is to create an individual home – one that reflects the style of the owners. One of the biggest barriers to creating an ideal home can be finding the right products or services. Whether you are considering a conversion, an extension, a renovation or a new build project, the Newbury Homebuilding & Renovating Show offers a one-stop shopping opportunity with a huge range of choices all under one roof. Taking place on 23 and 24 June, the Show plays host to over 120 exhibitors and offers a wealth of advice and information from the experts.
Worried about finance or how to assess a property’s potential? These are just two of the subjects covered in the comprehensive programme of free seminars running every day of the show. Tickets are issued on a first-come-first-served basis, so get there early to avoid disappointment. The seminars include tips on renovation, finding and evaluating land, selecting architects and energy efficiency to name but a few.
A real attraction is the Masterclasses, offering specialist advice and the chance to have one-to-one discussions with the experts. Each day has a different focus - Self-Build Day on Saturday and Eco Build Day on Sunday. The Show will help to explain the many eco products currently in the market, a real bonus for environmentally conscious homeowners.
With his team of professionals, TV personality and Editor-in-Chief of Homebuilding & Renovating magazine, Michael Holmes, will host Ask The Experts sessions on the magazine’s stand, giving visitors exclusive access to experts in the field saving consultancy fees of up to £100 a hour!
Finding a suitable plot of land or renovation project is usually the first hurdle. Plotfinder and Plotsearch both have databases of thousands of plots and projects for sale and will be joined by other land agencies at the show. Home automation will also play a major part at the show this year, from hi-tech sound systems to advanced security. Smart Homes are becoming more popular as people take the opportunity of installing state of the art technology to make their living environment as labour-free and safe as possible.
For those keen to get their hands dirty and save more money, there will be a number of useful and interesting demonstrations from exhibitors, including the latest in internal walling systems, paving and home security.
If you are interested in increasing the value of your current home, saving up to 30% on a new home or are simply looking for ideas to get you started, a visit to The Newbury Homebuilding & Renovating Show is a must. Taking place over two days at the Newbury Showground on 23 and 24 June, the Show really is a one-stop shop with over 120 exhibitors and an unrivalled daily series of free seminars and masterclasses on all aspects of building and renovating.
