Hundreds of military families given leg up the housing ladder
Military families are being helped by homeownership schemes.
Every day a military family is helped to take a step up the housing ladder thanks to the government’s homeownership schemes, Housing Minister Kris Hopkins said yesterday (14 October 2013).
New figures released today reveal that, over the last 2 years, more than 780 military households have either bought or reserved a new home through FirstBuy and its successor Help to Buy: equity loan; initiatives that help people purchase a new build home with a fraction of the deposit normally required.
