Hello and welcome to today’s 60-second snippet into the mortgage world. The subject today is Forces Help to Buy.
So if you’re not in the forces you could switch off. If you’re thinking about joining the forces this could be something for you to understand.
If you are in the military, currently serving and you meet the criteria; two of those being you have more than six months left and you’re not medically discharged or going to be medically discharged, you can then opt into a deposit which is made up of a maximum fifty percent of your annual salary as long as it doesn’t cap twenty five thousand pounds. You can use that as your deposit.
There’s bags more criteria, bags more reader material for you available on the government website but that is something you can use as your whole deposit. The annoying thing is not all lenders even acknowledge it or accept it so speak to someone that knows and will be able to show you a recommendation that fits your circumstances.
