Cumbria key workers given helping hand

Barratt Homes’ Carleton Chase development in Penrith, which is fast approaching 50% sold, is set to help key workers get a foot on the property ladder with an exclusive scheme.

The leading housebuilder has created a variety of schemes and initiatives to help prospective buyers make their goals of homeownership a reality. The Key Worker Deposit Contribution scheme is an example of this, dedicated to helping the people who keep Britain going secure a smooth route to a brand-new home.

Eligible home buyers using this scheme could get a £1,000 contribution towards their deposit for every £20,000 spent towards the purchase price – up to the value of £25,000.

For example, for a home costing £450,000, this would qualify key workers for a contribution of £22,500. This enables property seekers to access more competitive interest rates and save money in the long-term.

For home buyers at the Carleton Avenue development this offer will be well-suited to local people. Penrith Hospital, Carleton Hall Police Headquarters and Penrith Community Fire Station are all within one mile of Carleton Chase, alongside a range of schools such as North Lakes School and Ullswater Community College for those in educational fields.

Recently, Barratt Homes expanded its list of key workers to include foster carers. Other eligible professionals included are members of a local authority, NHS workers, members of the Ministry of Defence and more.

Alan Watt, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Manchester, said: “With our stunning Carleton Chase development excellently placed in Penrith, there is a range of potential home buyers that can benefit from our Key Worker Deposit Contribution scheme and save thousands on their move.

“If anyone is unsure whether they qualify for our Key Worker Deposit Contribution, we recommend visiting our sales team. We are eager to assist key workers and help them on their house hunting journey to make a move more affordable and comfortable.”

Residents at Carleton Chase can take advantage of its excellent location, offering convenient access to Penrith’s town centre and other major towns and cities, whilst having significant swathes of greenery on the doorstep.

Flanked by the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines National Landscape, Penrith ensures a serene lifestyle for all nature lovers to enjoy. In the Eden Valley town itself, home buyers will want for nothing with high street shopping, restaurants, and activities readily available.

Carleton Chase currently offers a selection of traditionally built four bedroom homes with prices starting from £377,000.
