AASapper,
Yes, and don't forget that in the second part of the Help to Buy programme which is just starting, the state will provide a 15% guarantee on a home to
any homebuyer - but buyers must have a 5% deposit. I wonder how this advance will affect eligability. The guarantee can be used on a new build or existing home but if some SP will probably be staying 'put' (with the introduction of NEM), there are fears it could increase prices on houses already built.. instead of building new homes (one of the key targets of the plan).
In response to your points about 'service wives'.. damned right.
