Special Discounts For Armed Forces on New Homes
Britain's military servicemen and women are being offered special incentives to help them get to their feet on the property ladder.
Personnel employed by the Royal Navy, RAF or Army as well as anyone who served in Afghanistan or Iraq all qualify for Barratt Homes Armed Forces Discount Scheme. Anyone set to retire from the forces this year will be eligible until the end of 2009.
They will be offered a £500 discount for every £25,000 or part thereof on the cost of the property they are buying. For example, on a home costing £126,000 they would qualify for a reduction of £3,000.
