FIRST HOME FIRST STEPS
Thinking about buying your first home but not sure where to start?
Buying your first home can feel like a bit of a minefield. How much can you afford? When should you speak to a mortgage adviser? What happens when you find a property? And what on earth happens between having an offer accepted and getting the keys?
First Home, First Steps is a relaxed and informative evening designed to take you through the home buying journey from start to finish, giving you a clearer understanding of what to expect and the chance to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask.
Whether you’re saving for a deposit, starting to look at properties, or simply wondering whether buying is realistic for you right now, you’ll hear from three local experts who deal with these questions every day.
You’ll hear from:
🔹 Sam Benson Estate Agent at RH & RW Clutton
🔹 Steve Ody, Mortgage & Protection Adviser at Citrus Financial
🔹 Elizabeth Philp, Property Solicitor at Setfords Law
Together, we’ll cover:
✅ Getting mortgage ready and understanding what you can realistically afford
✅ Finding and viewing properties and knowing what to look out for
✅Making an offer and what happens next
✅ The legal process from offer accepted through to completion
✅ Common pitfalls and practical tips for first time buyers
The evening will include three short presentations, a live Q&A and refreshments afterwards, giving you plenty of opportunity to speak directly with the experts.
📅 Wednesday 14th October 2026 Arrive from 6:30pm, with presentations starting at 7:00pm
📍 RH & RW Clutton 92 High Street, East Grinstead, West Sussex RH19 3DF
🎟️ Book your place: https://citrusfinancial.co.uk/first-time-buyer-event-east-grinstead/
Spaces are limited, so please register in advance.
And don’t worry if you’re not ready to buy just yet. You don’t need a mortgage agreed, a deposit saved or even a property in mind.
If buying your first home is something you’re thinking about, this is a great place to start.
