Key Worker Discount
A helping hand in appreciation of the essential services provided by Key Workers.
What is the discount?
If you're a front-line Key Worker or member of the Armed Forces, you could be eligible for a £500 discount for every £25,000 you spend on a new Shanly home, up to a maximum of £20,000.
Example
On a home priced at £250,000 home you could receive a £5,000 discount.
£250,000 divided by £25,000 = 10
10 x £500 discount = £5,000
Property purchase price with discount = £245,000
As an additional bonus, we offer a reduced reservation fee of just £500 for those using the Key Worker Discount scheme.
