Unlock Your Home Ownership Dreams with Forces Help to Buy
As a member of the UK Armed Forces, you’ve dedicated your life to serving the country. Now, it’s time to focus on your future. At Quick Mortgages, we are here to help you unlock the door to homeownership with the Forces Help to Buy scheme.
Whether you’re looking to buy your first home, move to a new property, or make home improvements, our team of expert mortgage advisors is ready to guide you every step of the way.
Forces Help to Buy is a UK government initiative specifically designed to support military personnel in achieving homeownership. It acknowledges the unique challenges that members of the Armed Forces face, such as frequent relocations and deployments, and provides financial assistance to make buying a home more accessible. Under this scheme, eligible service members can borrow up to 50% of their annual salary, with a maximum loan amount of £25,000, to use as a deposit on a property.
How the Forces Help to Buy Scheme Works
Eligibility: The scheme is open to regular military personnel who meet certain criteria. The scheme is designed to be inclusive, helping a wide range of service members get onto the property ladder.
Loan Amount: Eligible personnel can borrow up to 50% of their annual salary, with the loan amount capped at £25,000. This loan is interest-free, making it a financially attractive option. The borrowed amount is repaid over a 10-year period, with repayments conveniently deducted directly from your salary, helping you manage the repayment process without extra hassle.
Why the Forces Help to Buy Scheme is Beneficial
- Making Homeownership Accessible: One of the biggest hurdles in buying a home is saving up for a deposit. The Forces Help to Buy scheme helps overcome this challenge by providing an interest-free loan that can cover all or part of your deposit, making it easier for you to purchase a home.
- No Interest Costs: Unlike other types of loans, the Forces Help to Buy loan is interest-free, meaning you only repay the amount you borrow, without any added costs.
- Tailored Support for Military Personnel: The scheme is specifically designed for those in the Armed Forces, taking into account the unique aspects of military life, such as the need for frequent relocations and the impact of deployments. This means the scheme is more aligned with your needs compared to standard home-buying options.
