Forces Help to Buy Advice for you
What is the Forces Help to Buy scheme?
Launched in April 2014, the Forces Help to Buy (FHTB) scheme is a scheme aimed to help serving forces personnel. The scheme allows regular serving forces personnel to borrow an interest-free deposit of up to half their annual salary.
The scheme is designed to helped UK Forces Personnel to get on the property ladder. Serving military personnel are permitted to borrow up to 50% of their salary (capped at £25,000) to buy their first home, extend their current one or move to another property on assignment or as their needs change. The loan can also be used towards a deposit and other costs such as solicitor and estate agents’ fees and can be repaid over a period of up to 10 years.
Applying can be quite complicated, so we would advise you speak to a mortgage broker who can help explain the whole process.
Who can apply?
The Forces Help to Buy Scheme is open to all regular personnel who:
- Have completed the pre-requisite length of service
are not a reservist or a member of the Military Provost Guard Service - Have more than six months left to serve at the time they apply
- Meet the right medical categories
For further information, please get in touch.
A MORTGAGE IS A LOAN SECURED AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is 0.3% of the amount borrowed.
