A pub manager who waited 20 years to buy her first home in the Yorkshire Dales has moved into a property in the village where she works thanks to a locals' 30% discounts scheme
is very high and we would have struggled to buy a home due to the unaffordable prices but when the Broadacres’ scheme became a reality, we hoped we would be successful.
“We would not have been able to buy the home without the 30 per cent discount offered to local people so to now be in our own home after so many years is fantastic.“It’s just a few hundred yards away from where I work, so it really is a dream come true.” Other new residents who were eligible for the discount include a farmer and a couple who work in the Middleham racing yards.“There’s already a lovely little community here so we couldn’t be happier. Our old home had oil heating, so it was expensive to heat but we are already noticing how warm and efficient the heat pump is and even with the high electricity prices, we are still paying much less than we were.
The development is housing association Broadacres’ first in the National Park since an estate in Bainbridge was completed in 2008.
