Armed Forces Home Ownership Scheme(AFHOS)
What is Armed Forces Home Ownership Scheme (AFHOS)?
AFHOS is a HomeBuy option designed specifically for members of the armed forces (subject to qualifying criteria). The scheme provides qualifying applicants with assistance to buy a home.
How does it work?
If you have between four to six years of continuous service in the armed forces, this scheme is a way for you to buy a home suited to your needs, with some extra help to top up your mortgage.
AFHOS could provide you with a loan of between 15-50% of the value of the home that you choose on the open market, usually through an estate agent like any other buyer. For example if you qualify for a mortgage of £70,000, you could potentially purchase a property worth up to £140,000.
For more details and to find out if you qualify for the scheme visit: www.afhos.co.uk or contact the scheme agent, Swaythling Housing Society on 0800 028 1980, or email enquiries@afhos.co.uk.
