More than 350 people queued for eight hours to sign up for Redrow’s latest affordable housing development in Bristol. The fact that the scheme in Filton does not even have planning consent did not deter the first time buyers desperate to snap up one of the 106 new homes, which will be priced at between £60,000 and £130,000. Each paid a £50 holding fee, and they are now awaiting the local authority’s decision on the application. Rachael Baillie, sales director at Redrow’s south west branch said: \"We held an exhibition evening, which was supposed to be a chance for people to view our plans and for us to gauge the likely interest. Instead we had people practically fighting to buy the properties. We could have sold them all twice over.\" Cherise Leaver, a 21 year old council worker from Bridgegate, Gloucester, said: \"This is the only chance I’ll get to buy my own home because house prices are absolutely ridiculous and I just wouldn’t be able to afford one.\"
