THE sale of ex-Army houses in Catterick Garrison is attracting buyers prepared to sleep under canvas to be sure they get their dream home.
Annington acquired the lease for thousands of former Ministry of Defence (MoD) properties in 1997 and was also given permission to sell two thousand homes on the open market.
With prices for the three-bedroomed properties at Annington Hill starting at about £50,000 as many as 25 people have camped outside the showroom since last week to be sure of clinching a deal when it opens this morning.
Under its agreement iwth the MoD, Annington must offer at least 50 per cent of the houses to families with a connection to the armed forces.
More Annington properties in Bedale will also be offered for sale from Friday, May 3.
