How does it work?

The Armed Forces Help To Buy scheme was introduced to encourage homeownership amongst serving military personnel. It allows you to borrow an interest-free loan of up to 50% of your annual salary (or a maximum £25,000) to put towards buying a home. Since the scheme was launched, over 25,000 people have taken out a loan.

As long as the full property price is covered by your deposit (including the Forces Help to Buy loan) and the standard mortgage, you can buy whatever property type you wish. A new build, flat or existing home - whatever you have your heart set on!
