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.

As a first time buyer, I was expecting the process of buying to be a lot more stressful but so far Seth has made it much easier to understand and broken it down for me in a way that's easy to understand.

Review of Nick Spolton

I wanted advice about porting my mortgage and also how it would fit in with the fixed rate period ending. I was planning move to help my financial situation. Nick helped with my initial query but was also perceptive in picking up that I didn't really want to move. This gave me the courage to take my house off the market. Nick then helped me with remortgaging as a way to get my finances on a stronger footing. His research was thorough, he explained everything very clearly, gave me regular updates and chased legal for me. There is no way I could have managed things without Nick's expertise and wisdom. Yes. My financial situation is much better and I'm really glad I didn't move house. Nothing at all.
