Barratt has the key to first home for hospital worker

Key worker, Claire Dockerty has found that she was able to get a foot onto the property ladder and buy her ideal first home at Barratt Mercia's Park View development on Woodway Lane in Coventry.

Claire, who is an Operating Department Practitioner at Birmingham Women's Hospital, had been looking to buy her own home for a while, but felt it would be an impossible task. Then she came across the one-bedroom apartments at Park View and found that home ownership could be more than just a dream.

Claire explained, "I initially visited Park View in order to find out more about a shared ownership scheme, but I soon realised that with Barratt's range of deals, I would actually be able to buy a home of my own in its entirety.

"Because of my key worker status, Barratt was able to offer me a cash discount and since I elected to purchase the show apartment, which came complete with all the furniture, fixtures and fittings, I was able to eliminate the need to spend time and money on decorating and buying furniture.

"Plus the service I received by Barratt was excellent. Both Tracey and Lynda, the sales negotiators, were very helpful and friendly and they have effectively enabled me to buy my own home - something I'd thought was not possible."

Chris Ashmore, Sales Director for Barratt commented, "We understand that it can be very difficult for all kinds of buyers, especially key workers to afford a new home, let alone all the added costs such as furniture which is why we have dedicated selected deals for this important group of homebuyers. This way we are able to help give something back to the people that look after us so well."

Park View is ideally located within close proximity of a range of local amenities, such as a Tesco store, bowling and cinema complex along with restaurants and bars which are also close by. The development is also ideal for doctors and nurses working at the nearby Walsgrave Hospital which is situated just a few minutes away.

Park View is a development of one- and two-bedroom apartments. Prices start from £107,950. For more information log on to Barratthomes.co.uk/parkview.
