If you ask almost any military family what the most stressful part of service life is, there's a good chance March-Out will be near the top of the list. Handing back a Service Family Accommodation (SFA) property isn't simply a case of packing a few boxes. It's deep-cleaning every room to exacting standards, coordinating removals, managing children or pets, chasing paperwork, and hoping that the final inspection goes smoothly. For many spouses, it's all being managed while the

I'll be joining the Forces Wives Challenge to climb Pen y Fan, the highest mountain in South Wales. The Forces Wives Challenge brings together women whose partners are serving members of the Armed Forces or veterans, creating opportunities to challenge themselves, build confidence and support one another through adventure.

If you are selling a second home, a buy-to-let property, inherited property, or certain other residential assets, there may be an important tax deadline you need to be aware of.

Property auctions can offer exciting opportunities for buyers. It is not uncommon to find properties selling below market value, properties with development potential or opportunities that may not be available through traditional estate agency channels. However, buying at auction is very different from purchasing a property through the usual conveyancing process. Once the hammer falls, buyers are legally committed to the purchase and must complete within a strict timeframe.

Every so often, I climb on my high horse. So much so I might aswell just join the mounted cavalry. Today, I'm staying there. As the founder of JB Property Law, I spend my days supporting members of the Armed Forces community with property matters. But before I was a business owner, I was and still am, a veteran's spouse. I've seen talented, ambitious, highly skilled people forced to rebuild their careers time and time again, not because they lacked commitment, but because mil

On the anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, JB Property Law reflects on the courage, sacrifice and enduring importance of home, family and community.

On Saturday 27 June 2026, we had the privilege of attending the unveiling of the Welsh Guards Afghanistan Memorial in Wrexham. A deeply moving and significant occasion for serving personnel, veterans, and families.

Armed Forces Day 2026, taking place on Saturday 27 June, provides an important opportunity to recognise the dedication, service, and sacrifice of those who serve in the Armed Forces, as well as veterans, reservists, and their families across the United Kingdom.

For members of the Armed Forces, moving home is rarely a straightforward transaction. It is shaped by operational demands, sudden relocations, deployments overseas, and the need to make major financial decisions often under time pressure and limited access to legal or financial support.

Today, on Reserves Day, we recognise and thank the men and women of the Reserve Forces who balance civilian life with military service.

Each June, Armed Forces Week gives the nation an opportunity to show support for the men and women who serve, veterans who have served, and the wider Armed Forces community. While some countries officially recognise Military Spouses Day, the UK does not currently have a dedicated national day to honour military spouses and families.

We spoke with Joanne about her work supporting Armed Forces clients and the experiences that have influenced her approach.

If a property is not connected to the public sewer network, it will usually rely on a private drainage system. Understanding how these systems work, and the legal obligations associated with them, is important when buying or selling a property.

Bridging finance has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly in competitive property markets and among buyers purchasing at auction. However, while bridging loans can be extremely useful, they are not suitable for every situation and come with additional costs, risks, and legal requirements that buyers should fully understand before proceeding.

Today, we pause to remember the bravery, sacrifice, and determination shown by Allied forces during the D-Day Landings on 6 June 1944. One of the most significant moments in modern history.

One of the unexpected joys of running a website is discovering what people are searching for. Website analytics can reveal fascinating insights into what visitors want to know, from practical questions about our work to subjects we never imagined anyone would search for. This week, however, we discovered something rather unusual. Someone had asked AI how Ashley and I met. Even more amusingly, AI had confidently supplied an answer. According to the internet, we're childhood
