The Forces Help to Buy scheme lets eligible service personnel borrow up to 50% of their basic salary, capped at £25,000, as an interest-free advance towards a home. It is repaid over your mortgage term. Add it to your own savings to see your total deposit.

We regularly help Armed Forces buyers combine the scheme with the right mortgage, and charge a reduced £199 fee for Armed Forces and Blue Light Card holders.

Your home/property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

To get advice to see if I would be able to afford a mortgage, if it was likely to get a mortgage. He was able to reassure me and he gave me confidence in his knowledge in enabling me to get a mortgage on my own. Yes, Nick Spolton made sure everything was in place and he didn’t move forward until this was done. Resulting in being offered a mortgage the day after he submitted all the information. I feel Nick went above and beyond and couldn’t have done enough. Nothing needed to be done better.

Im a first time buyer and was looking for advice on mortgages, I knew next to nothing about them so needed to learn as well as find a mortgage suitable for my current circumstances that I could maintain long term. Seth has been brilliant from the start. The service he provided was excellent , thorough and outstanding. He made everything transparent, answered all of my questions, had lots of patience and understanding , listened to all of my concerns and adapted my mortgage suitably throughout. Cannot fault and would highly recommend. Yes , not just a mortgage but options throughout . Every option was explored thoroughly yet kept simple and straightforward. Lots of advice, guidance and support offered . Exceeded my expectations so nothing more

A rather complicated domestic situation meant that I did not feel confident enough to apply for a mortgage but Nick sorted everything out with ease and managed to get me not only a mortgage but a brilliant deal! Without Nick I doubt I would have known how to get a mortgage bearing in mind my complex situation but he did it! Yes, perfect outcome! Nothing, he sorted everything out, always reassuring me it would be fine!
