South East Homebuilding & Renovating Show returns to offer property inspiration to homeowners
15-16 January 2022, Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre
The South East of England has become the most popular choice for British homeowners with six out of 10 aspiring to live in villages across the region, according to a recent article by Mortgage Introducer which says prices for homes in the South East jumped by 9.6 per cent during the pandemic.
Such is the interest in self-build and renovation, more than 130 exhibitors showcasing thousands of products have signed up to take part in the South East Homebuilding & Renovating Show between 15-16 January 2022 at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre.
There will be free daily seminars and masterclasses covering kitchens; bathrooms; doors and windows; extensions and conversions; eco and heating; architecture; design; financial services; planning permissions and much more.
A key area at the show will be The Advice Centre, sponsored by Internorm, where homeowners can discuss their project ideas with industry leaders.
Visitors keen to find out more about the design, planning and construction process are recommended to book an Ask the Architect consultation, where chartered specialists can assist with consumers’ specific issues.
Members of the Federation of Master Builders will guide people booking an Ask the Builder session on hiring accredited, highly skilled construction workers.
For specialist advice and tips on all aspects associated with self-build and renovation, 15-minute Ask the Expert consultations are available through interactive sessions to help assist visitors in achieving and realising their property ambitions.
On hand at this year’s show will be ‘DIY SOS’ and ‘60 Minute Makeover’ interior designer Julia Kendell. With over 30 years’ experience as an interior design professional, property renovator and kitchen specialist, Julia will be imparting her knowledge on interior transformations that uplift and energise to have a positive impact on wellbeing. She will be highlighting her brand new ‘Virtual Room Design Service’ that provides online interior expertise to those needing help with creating well-functioning one-off rooms.
Other experts at this year’s South East Show include property expert Michael Holmes. Michael has presented over 150 property shows for the likes of ITV and BBC including ‘Good Bid Good Buy’ and ‘Build, Buy or Restore?’ He will be offering design guides at the show on home staples such as kitchens and extensions.
Also participating at Ask the Expert is eco genius David Hilton who will be hosting a session on how to best heat your home.
One-day tickets to the South East Homebuilding & Renovating Show are £8 in advance and two-day tickets are £12 in advance (children under 16 go free). You can buy tickets here and for more details visit https://farnborough.homebuildingshow.co.uk.

Why joining a community of business leaders can enhance your reputation and credibility
I read a LinkedIn post recently that reassured business owners that if they’d managed to keep their businesses going during recession, Brexit, COVID and the cost-of-living crisis that they deserved a huge pat on the back and shouldn’t ‘beat themselves up’. Easier said than done when costs are rising and doing business seems to get harder rather than easier, but the sentiment was well-placed.
Why it’s important for Business Leaders to be exposed to new...
Nobody likes a ‘know it all’ and let’s face it, there’s no such thing. At the other end of the scale, many of us don’t create enough time to take on board new ideas, innovation and creativity in whatever format. How many times have you been recommended to read a book, get sent the link, go on Amazon, maybe even buy it but it just sits on your bookshelf? Come to think of it, as an aside, just think about that for a second….I wonder what the actual percentage of books purchased are actually read? Frightening thought!
