Gleeson Homes Teams Up With Forces Property Direct

Housebuilder Gleeson Homes is teaming up with Forces Property Direct (FPD), to help British military personnel become homeowners.

The scheme, which is a free service to military personnel, provides the funding for a 5% deposit, through the use of the Forces Help to Buy scheme (FHTB), necessary to secure a mortgage. This can also be added to the Government Help to Buy Scheme of a further 20% available meaning the mortgage require is only 75%.


James Thomson, Chief Executive commented: "This scheme fits perfectly with the Gleeson model and I will be delighted if we can help armed forces personnel find their first home. In addition to the financial and practical support from FPD, we will also provide our key worker offer, meaning this is a very attractive offer for new homeowners."

Steve Matthews of Forces Property Direct added: "We are delighted with the addition of Gleeson to our panel of developers that support the British Military through our free service; their competitive price point and excellent reputation will be welcomed by our Military families looking for help securing their forever home."
