Deposit support for key workers brings homeownership closer at Sundial Place

At David Wilson Homes’ development, Sundial Place, a beautiful collection of two, three and four-bedroom homes are being built in the peaceful village of Thornton.

To make it easier for frontline workers to live in this idyllic setting, David Wilson Homes is offering a significant boost through the Key Worker Deposit Contribution scheme.

Under the scheme, David Wilson Homes contributes £1,000 toward your deposit for every £20,000 of the property price, up to a maximum contribution of £25,000. The contribution, applied at legal completion, helps to reduce the size of the deposit needed – overcoming one of the barriers to homeownership. This incentive is available across all David Wilson Homes developments.

The scheme was first introduced to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the NHS. Since, then it has been extended to include those who work in education, emergency services, pharmacists, the Ministry of Defence, environmental services, National Highways, Transport Scotland and Transport for Wales, probation and prison services, local authorities, the RNLI, foster carers, social, nursery and care home workers.

The Key Worker Deposit Contribution scheme offers a genuine head start for essential workers looking to buy a new home. At Sundial Place, the scheme could make a meaningful difference in deposit affordability.

Ethan and Dillon moved into their new home at Sundial Place after being given £15,500 through the scheme because of Ethan’s role as a registered nurse. The couple, who moved from the Norris Green and Netherton areas of Merseyside, took advantage of the financial assistance to purchase their first home together having previously lived with their parents.

Ethan said: “When I saw the scheme being offered to the NHS, this really helped sway our decision, as it was a massive help for our deposit.

“I think it’s really important to offer this Key Worker Deposit Contribution scheme. Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to afford our deposit. We only began looking in November 2024, but this has really helped to accelerate our move and make it affordable.”

Each home at Sundial Place is thoughtfully designed with modern living in mind with open-plan kitchen and dining spaces, stunning gardens, spacious bedrooms and the quality craftsmanship the Five Star Housebuilder is known for.

For key workers, the Deposit Contribution scheme brings the dream of home ownership significantly closer. Prospective buyers are encouraged to visit Sundial Place and speak with the sales advisers to confirm eligibility.
