Buying or selling a home

Defence offers financial assistance to help members buy and sell a home.

The Home Purchase Assistance Scheme (HPAS) is a one-off payment to help buy a home in your current or next housing benefit or family benefit location. 

The Home Purchase or Sale Expenses Allowance (HPSEA) is a reimbursement for some costs related to selling a home as well as buying another.
