We assist social tenants, serving Ministry of Defence personnel, those considered a housing priority by their local council and other first-time buyers and second steppers. If you are priced out of a suitable home in your local housing market (as defined by your income - read on for more information on income eligibility) you are potentially eligible for these products.
