The Armed Forces Help to Buy
The endless cycle of renting or the restrictions of military accommodation can be frustrating and limiting.
The cost of living in the UK is constantly rising, which can put the idea of saving up for a 5% property deposit seemingly beyond reach.

How We Helped Tom & Emma
Client: Tom and Emma
Location: Aldershot, Hampshire
Type of Mortgage: Forces Help to Buy (first time buyers)
Tom and Emma (both military personnel) came to More Than Money following a referral from a previous military customer that we helped. They were both first time buyers and were living in rented military accommodation.
They had been trying to save a deposit for some time, however, the “cost of living” pressure meant that it was going to take a considerable amount of time to be in a position to be able to buy their first home together.
With the assistance of Forces Help To Buy they were able to bolster their deposit by an extra £33,000 which allowed them to buy a property immediately. Furthermore, they were able to buy a three bedroom house rather than a two bed which was ideal as they have two children.
How We Helped Devi & Anita
Client: Devi & Anita
Location: Folkestone, Kent
Type of Mortgage: Forces Help To Buy (relocation)
Devi & Anita had been relocated to a different part of the country due to Devi’s job in the Armed forces. They needed to buy a new property in a new area. They spoke to our mortgage advisor Andy, on the first meeting he found out everything he could about their current situation and affordability. They wanted to Use the Forces help to Buy Scheme but didn’t know much about it.
Andy then went away in his own time to research what options they had available to them. He called them back to explain what he found and put it into an email so they could go through it in their own time. He fully explained the scheme and all the terms and conditions of the Help to Buy mortgage.
When Devi & Anita were ready to complete an application, Andy was there to help them get set up from start to finish. Let’s just say they are now happy customers living in their dream home.
