Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Forces Help to Buy scheme?

As mentioned above, there is a Forces Help to Buy scheme available to members of the Armed Forces until 2022.

The Forces Help to Buy scheme is specifically designed to help armed forces personnel to get onto the property ladder. The scheme offers an interest-free loan to help cover a house deposit as well as any other fees that occur whilst buying a home.

How much financial support can you receive with Forces Help To Buy?

Military professionals can borrow as much as 50% of their annual salary interest-free, as long as it is no more than £25,000. This money can then be used as a house deposit or solicitor and estate agent fees.

Do the Forces Help to Buy schemes cover all homes?

The Forces Help to Buy scheme applies to those looking for their first home, those moving due to a new assignment or those who have had a change in family circumstances.

Can everyone apply for the Forces Help to Buy scheme?

You can apply for the Forces Help to Buy scheme if you meet the following criteria:

  • You have completed the required length of service
  • You have more than six months left to serve at the time of making your application
  • You meet the right medical criteria

Due to the criteria stating that you must have six months left to serve at the time of making your application, the Forces Help to Buy is therefore not available to ex-servicemen.
