Thrilled new home owners have been given a £10,000 discount on the price of their properties in return for helping building them.
To save the cash they took part in tasks such as painting and decorating, landscaping, labour, administration, marketing, and IT support.
The development saw 14 new three-bedroom homes costing between £190,000 and £197,500 built as well as 13 apartments priced at £125,000 to £200,000 depending on the number of bedrooms and size.
People who bought one of the 27 properties at the housing association Prima Group development in Ince, in Wigan, Greater Manchester, had to commit 500 hours of 'sweat equity' to be eligible.
Now delighted residents are finally able to move in following their hard work.
