Key workers are being given the chance to receive a contribution towards their deposit on a new house in areas such as Wichelstowe in Swindon and also Hunters Wood in Melksham.
With the launch of Barratt and David Wilson Homes new Key Worker Deposit Contribution scheme, key workers looking to buy a new home can now receive a deposit contribution of up to £15,000.
Eligible key workers including workers from the NHS, teachers, police and fire services and Local Authority staff will be able to get a deposit contribution of £750 for every £25,000 spent on a new home.
So, for example, when purchasing a £300,000 home, Barratt and David Wilson Homes would contribute £9,000 towards the deposit.
Andrea Pilgrim, Sales Director at Barratt Bristol says: “Barratt and David Wilson Homes has introduced the scheme to say thank you to key workers for their enormous contribution to the country.
The new scheme will cover key workers from the NHS, teachers, police and fire services, the MOD, prison and probation services, plus Local Authority employees and Highways England.”
Louise Ware, Sales Director David Wilson Homes South West added, “At the start of the pandemic we launched a NHS Deposit Contribution scheme, but we now want to open this up to every key worker in the country as a thank you for all their work.”
The housebuilder has introduced the scheme at developments across the county including Wichelstowe in Swindon and Hunters Wood in Melksham.
