Developer offers helping hand to key workers

A new scheme to help nurses, police officers, school teachers and other key workers move to a dream home they can afford has been launched by Stamford Homes.

The innovative approach is designed to help key workers – which include NHS frontline staff and other public sector workers – move into their own home with the minimum of cost over the first year.

Under the company’s specially devised Keyworkers Package, Stamford Homes will pay the average household bills for the first year, potentially saving the customer thousands of pounds.

Bills covered include:

- Gas, water, electricity
- Council Tax
- Telephone
- Buildings and contents insurance
- Sky Television
- Legal expenses associated with the move

Stamford Homes also offer free Mortgage Protection Insurance for a year, paying up to £1,000 a month if you lose your job through no fault of your own.

The Keyworker Package is available at all Stamford Homes’ developments in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.

Stamford Homes regional sales and marketing director, Peter Bond said: “This is a fabulous scheme designed to help the many people who help the community.

“Teachers, nurses, police officers, prison officers and many other key workers can find it hard to buy their own home. These key workers, especially early in their career, often decide to live in rented accommodation, believing that they are not able to afford to buy a home of their own – or perhaps that now is not the right time to be taking on a financial commitment.”

“At Stamford Homes, we want to recognise this and help where we can to make the move and the first year’s costs as affordable as possible”
