Married Quarter Increase in Charges 2015???

A question about : Married Quarter Increase in Charges 2015???

Afternoon i have heard separate rumours that in 2015 Married Quarter charges will increase by 60% depending on the area you live in? so if you live in a 3 bed house where the rental market says its Ј750 a month to live in that house you will be charged 60% of that?

Any one know if this is coming in or is it yet another NAAFI buzz?

Regards

Best answers:

• They are looking at MQ charges, although I don't think any decision has been made yet. I do believe though it is to bring it more in to Civvy prices, although I think this will be LA rental charges, rather than private rental charges.
  They are also looking at increasing LSAP, to allow more people on to the housing ladder.
• It was mentioned in the New Employment Model (NEM), however prices will not be as expensive as private renting.
  Housing prices have to be standard across the board, so a 3-bedroom Grade 1 within the M25 might cost you Ј2000 a month, but the same in North Scotland might cost Ј400 a month.
  Therefore, standby to standby..
• I still think the housing should be free
• I wouldn't object to a rent increase, providing the property is up to a standard reflected by the price. For some areas this is going to mean quarters need a heck of a lot of work....
