Homebuilder extends NHS helping hand for a further six months

Business and Economy

Barratt and David Wilson Homes has announced that it will be extending its 5% deposit contribution for NHS workers throughout Buckinghamshire.

The leading homebuilder started the scheme earlier this year at the height of the pandemic to thank those who work for the NHS. Initially, the scheme was due to finish at the end of 2020, but a recent decision was made to extend it for a further six months.

In Buckinghamshire, many NHS workers have benefited from the scheme so far, and Barratt and David Wilson are hoping to assist many more in purchasing their dream home over the next six months.

John Dillon, Managing Director of Barratt and David Wilson Homes South Midlands, said: “Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ Deposit Contribution scheme has already helped 1,000 NHS workers across the UK to buy their own homes, saving them more than £10m in the process.

“But we want to continue to support vital NHS workers in the New Year so we’ve extended it for six more months until 18th June 2021.”

The homebuilder has been supporting the NHS throughout the pandemic. At the beginning of the pandemic, Barratt Developments donated its entire stock of PPE masks to help them stay safe. This was followed by a donation of defibrillators to St. John’s Ambulance to aid communities, and a £100,000 donation to support NHS frontline staff and volunteers.

Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ scheme works by offering NHS workers a 5% deposit contribution up to £15,000. For example, if they were interested in a home costing £200,000, they would qualify for a contribution of £10,000. Those wishing to apply should speak to a Sales Adviser during an appointment, who can introduce applicants to a specialist New Homes Mortgage Adviser.

Barratt Homes is currently building properties at Brooklands and Eagles’ Rest in Milton Keynes, Woburn Downs in Bletchley and Fairfields in Stony Stratford.

David Wilson Homes is also currently building properties at Brooklands, Fairfields, Eagles’ Rest and Woburn Downs, as well as at Lavendon Fields in Lavendon and Brooklands Park in Milton Keynes.
