Buying a Home While Serving
Buying a home while serving in the Armed Forces can come with unique challenges. Frequent postings, deployments, relocating your family and managing the home-buying process around military commitments can all add additional pressure to an already busy time.
Our Commitment to the Armed Forces Community
We are proud signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant, reflecting our ongoing commitment to ensuring that members of the armed forces community are treated fairly and with respect.
As part of this commitment, we offer:
-
15% discount on legal fees for:
-
Current serving personnel
-
Veterans
-
Reservists
-
Military families
-
-
We also cover the additional legal fees associated with the Forces Help to Buy scheme, helping to reduce the financial burden of purchasing a home.
A Conveyancing Service Designed Around Military Life
At JB Property Law, we understand that military life rarely fits into standard office hours. Deployments, training exercises, overseas postings and unpredictable schedules can make the home moving process more challenging — which is why we offer a flexible, modern conveyancing service designed around you.
From the moment you instruct us through to completion day, you will have a dedicated named lawyer handling your transaction. We believe consistency and communication matter, especially when you may be managing your move from another part of the UK or overseas.
We offer a range of communication options so you can contact us in the way that suits you best, including:
-
Phone calls
-
Email
-
Text message
-
WhatsApp
-
Video calls where required
-
BFPO correspondence for serving personnel overseas
-
And yes — we would happily receive Blueys too
We know that you may not always be available during traditional office hours, so our service is designed to work around your schedule wherever possible.
Remote and Overseas Support
Whether you are based overseas, deployed, on exercise or preparing for a posting, we can manage your transaction remotely and help minimise unnecessary delays.
Our team can assist with:
-
Remote ID verification checks
-
Electronic document signing where possible
-
Arranging documents to be signed in advance
-
Setting up Powers of Attorney where needed
-
Coordinating completion around deployments or overseas commitments
-
Keeping communication simple and accessible throughout your transaction
We understand that flexibility is essential for Armed Forces personnel and their families, and we work proactively to ensure your move progresses as smoothly as possible regardless of where you are based
Personal Service With Military Understanding
Supporting Armed Forces personnel is personal to us. Our founder is married to an Army Veteran, and their relationship has spanned both his active military service and civilian life. With close family members also currently serving, we understand the realities of military life and the importance of practical, reliable legal support when buying or moving home.
Our aim is simple — to provide professional conveyancing with clear communication, genuine understanding and a service tailored around the way military families live and work.
A Personal Message from Our Founder’s Husband, a Veteran
As an army veteran, I am immensely proud that my wife is in a position to support those who have served our nation, along with their families.
I served as Kingsman Bowmer with the 4th Battalion, Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. While I was fortunate not to suffer lasting hardship, many others have. Equally, not everyone deploys, but that in no way diminishes the value of their service. We all take the same oath, and behind every one of us stands a family who shares in that commitment and sacrifice.
Those who serve, past and present, rarely seek recognition or assistance. This offering is not about fanfare, but rather a quiet gesture of respect and gratitude.
Best of British to you all, and thank you.
