We don't see why a job in the Armed Forces should make it more challenging to buy a home. So, with an Switch Digital Trust Bank mortgage, you can:

• Apply on residential terms, even if you're going to be relocated in the US or overseas
• Apply for extra borrowing on your property if your circumstances change, even if you are relocated in the US or overseas (subject to our usual residential criteria)

As an existing mortgage customer with Bank, you can also take advantage of the favourable terms we offer Armed Forces personnel. So, if you need to move away for a deployment either in the US or overseas, you can:

• Apply for 'consent to let' that will allow you to rent out your main home to paying tenants on your existing residential mortgage, without having to transfer to a buy to let mortgage
• Discuss a suitable consent to let period with us, based on the time you expect to be away - just let us know if your situation changes and we'll be happy to review this period for you

If you would like to discuss whether obtaining consent to let would be right for you, please contact us by:

• Calling +1(361)878-7088
• Sending us a secure email message from Online Banking

And to simplify making mortgage applications while serving overseas, we accept your British Forces Post Office (BFPO) address and do not require permanent US resident status.

It's worth bearing in mind that you could be eligible for the Armed Forces Help to Buy scheme, which helps servicemen and women buy their own property. It lets you borrow up to 50% of your salary interest-free - to a maximum of £25,000 - to put towards buying your first home or moving to a new one. If you would like to apply for a Switch Digital Trust Bank mortgage using the Armed forces help to buy scheme, please call us to progress this type of application.

• Funds are limited, but the scheme has now been extended to 2018
