A DOZEN hopeful homebuyers were queuing up for 10 ex-Army houses due to be sold on a first come, first served basis today.
Most of those vying for the 10 three and four-bedroom former MoD properties in Columbia Drive and Edmonton Close, Lower Wick, Worcester, are first-time buyers who have spent the last fortnight camped in the street.
Property ladder
They have endured the wind, rain and boredom, but their efforts will be rewarded as they get their first step on the property ladder.
Campers received the price lists yesterday and were given a tour of their prospective homes.
Hardy camper Clare Sedgley was exhausted after a week in a tent, but thrilled to be one step away from her dream.
"After sticking it out this long there was no way we would give up," said the 25-year-old.
"I feel very, very excited. It will be a huge relief to know we've finally done it."
