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.

In this second part, Ashley Bowmer shares how his time in the Army, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan shaped not only his own life, but the direction of Joanne’s work.

At JB Property Law, we are proud to announce that we have become a signatory and supporter of the Pride in Veterans Standard (PiVS), an initiative developed by Fighting With Pride. This commitment reflects our belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and understanding, regardless of their background, identity or life experiences. We are honoured to stand alongside organisations across the UK that are working to create a more inclusive and welcoming e

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

At JB Property Law, we believe that great client service starts with great people. That's why we're delighted to introduce Aimee, who recently joined us as a Consultant Property Lawyer. After her first month with the business, we caught up with her to learn more about her journey into property law, what attracted her to JB Property Law, and her ambitions for the future.

Most military personnel assume the Forces Help to Buy (FHTB) scheme works like a standard deposit, but the legal reality is closer to a complex bridging loan managed by the MoD. Because the funds are drawn from your future salary and secured against your property, the timeline for 'Notice to Draw' requires a level of coordination that standard high-street lawyers often miss. Missing a single deadline for paperwork can push your completion back & potentially jeopardising your

The Building Safety Act 2022 represents one of the most significant reforms to property law in the UK in recent decades. Introduced in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the Act aims to improve building safety standards, increase accountability, and provide greater protection for leaseholders. For firms like JB Property Law, the Act has reshaped the legal landscape surrounding leasehold properties, introducing both new challenges and opportunities.

Today, we pause to mark the anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. A moment in history that reminds us of the courage, sacrifice, and resilience shown by so many during World War II.
