Customers of Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes in Edinburgh can now overcome one of the biggest challenges to buying a home \u2013 saving for a deposit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barratt Redrow has extended its hugely successful Key Worker Deposit Contribution Scheme<\/a> to even more frontline workers. The scheme, which gives up to \u00a325,000 as a deposit, is now being offered to social workers, nursery workers, pharmacists, and a larger cohort of NHS response workers.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The developer is currently creating a range of new communities across Edinburgh, including David Wilson Homes at Cammo Meadows and West Craigs Quarter and Barratt Homes at Merchant Quay, West Craigs and Gilmerton Heights.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Originally launched to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the National Health Service, the Key Worker Deposit Contribution Scheme now supports more key workers to afford a new home by helping to pay their deposit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amongst those benefitting are workers in the NHS, Education sector, Police Force, Fire Service, Ministry of Defence, Environmental Service, National Highways, Transport Scotland & Transport for Wales, Probation and Prison Services, Local Authorities, the RNLI, and foster carers, in addition to the newly added services.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far, the housebuilder has given support totalling \u00a363m to key workers across the UK, of which \u00a38m has been provided to 498 homebuyers in Scotland.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Under the scheme, eligible key workers are offered \u00a31,000 as a deposit contribution for every \u00a320,000 of a home\u2019s purchase price.\u00a0 For example, on a home costing \u00a3300,000, key workers would qualify for a contribution of \u00a315,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Andrew Morrison, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes East Scotland, said:<\/strong> \u201cOur Key Worker Deposit Contribution Scheme has already helped almost 500 buyers in Scotland to purchase a low-carbon, energy-efficient home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile mortgage interest rates are starting to come down, many buyers are still struggling to get into a home that fits with their lifestyle. We\u2019re now extending the scheme even further to ensure that those who provide essential frontline services can get into their own place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
