KEY WORKERS PURCHASE DREAM HOME WITH DEPOSIT CONTRIBUTION SCHEME AT LINCOLNSHIRE DEVELOPMENT

A couple has moved up the property ladder having used their key worker status to secure their dream home in Bourne.

Karen (55) and Craig Mellows (56), a Hospital Ward Clerk and a Warehouse Manager respectively have settled into their three bedroom Denby style property at Barratt Homes at Bourne, with their dog, Ollie, to be closer to their family. 

The couple utilised Barratt Homes’ Key Worker Deposit Contribution scheme to help them make the move. Introduced as a thank you to all key workers that continued to support their communities and remained in the workplace throughout the pandemic, the scheme offers a contribution of £1,000 towards the buyer’s deposit for every £20,000 spent on a new home.

When asked about their new home, Karen and Craig said: “One of our top priorities when looking for a new house was the location. We wanted to live within walking distance of our daughter and newborn granddaughter, but Bourne offers so much more on top of that.

“The local area is quiet, yet there is so much to do on the doorstep. Everyone we know in Bourne is polite and very friendly, and the whole community has a sense of pride which keeps the area looking well kept.

“We loved the style of our new home and with everything being up to date and modern, we very rarely, if ever, have to worry about maintenance. Moving from an older property as well we’ve noticed just how more energy efficient our new home is.

“Barratt Homes has been very supportive along the way and the Key Worker Deposit Contribution scheme is a very nice touch, rewarding hard-working people. The scheme enabled us to move more smoothly and we couldn’t be happier.”
