MOD to buy back 36,000 military homes for almost £6bn
Thousands of military homes will be brought back into public ownership at a cost of almost £6 billion.
The Ministry of Defence will buy back 36,347 homes from property firm Annington, reversing the 1996 privatisation process.
Defence Secretary John Healey welcomed the sale, saying it is "a chance to upgrade military homes and widen the offer of home ownership for forces personnel".

Britain and the United States have carried out new joint airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, marking the UK’s first publicized strike operation alongside the U.S. since the Trump era. RAF Typhoon jets targeted Houthi drone sites near Sanaa, in response to escalating attacks on commercial shipping and missiles fired toward Israel. These Iran-backed assaults have disrupted global trade in the Red Sea by over 50%. UK Defense Secretary John Healey warned the ongoing Houthi threat poses serious risks to regional stability, global shipping, and national economies. All RAF aircraft returned safely.
