Armed Forces Help To Buy Scheme

 

Armed Forces Scheme

In recognition of the amazing work our Armed Forces do for our country, we’re helping military personnel to buy their own home.

How does it work?

The Armed Forces scheme is made up of three elements, of which you can choose to combine. To purchase a new-build Countryside Homes, you can use any or all of the following:

  • The Armed Forces Help to Buy scheme from the MOD offers an interest-free advance on your salary
  • The Countryside military services discount: 1.5% discount of the list price*
  • £3,000 contribution towards flooring*

Thanks to our Armed Forces scheme, you could be moving into a new-build home a lot sooner than you thought possible.

 

Who is eligible?

To qualify for the Countryside Armed Forces scheme, you need to be a currently serving member of the regular and reserve UK Armed Forces and to have passed Phase 1 of your training.

 

Countryside are also proud to be a supporter of the Armed Forces Covenant for which we hold a prestigious Gold Award, as part of the Ministry of Defence Employee Recognition Scheme (ERS).

It’s an initiative we’re involved in to offer fair opportunity and social access to past or current members of the Armed Forces and their families. It's all part of our pledge to give back to military personnel.
