Teacher Mortgages Explained
As a family run business, we truly understand the value of teachers. That’s why we love to help you.
There isn’t a specific mortgage for teachers. But there are lenders who are set up to support teachers. And we work with those lenders.
If you want to maximise your borrowing, we have the experience and knowledge to help. Teaching is a trusted profession, so there may be advantageous terms with certain lenders. Some have exclusive benefits, such as:
- favourable interest rates
- higher loan to value ratios
- flexible eligibility criteria
If you are a newly qualified teacher or a supply teacher, getting a mortgage can be more complicated. But by no means impossible. We can help by accessing lenders who are favourable to your circumstances. We can also help Teaching Assistants.
As a teaching professional, we know you’re busy, so we do all the research and take care of the paperwork for you. We will do all the hard work for you.
Your time is really precious. If you need to speak to us outside of standard office hours, we can be flexible with our appointment times. We know the school day means that 9-5 may not work for you.

A MORTGAGE IS A LOAN SECURED AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is 0.3% of the amount borrowed.

What Help is Available for Teachers to buy a home
If you are buying your first home and you’re struggling with affordability, there are schemes to help. We have experience with using these schemes and can help advise you as to whether you meet the criteria.
Here are some of the schemes you might want to consider:
- First Homes Scheme
Available in England, this is a Government Scheme offers residential homes to first time buyers at a discounted price. Generally, priority for these is given to key workers.
- New Build Homes
Buying a new build can be an affordable solution. Some lenders also offer discounts for key workers. On top of that, some developers offer new build incentives. These might include having your stamp duty or legal fees paid or other incentives to entice you to buy.
- Shared Ownership Scheme
The Shared Ownership scheme in England is a Government backed option to help with affordability. It offers you the chance to buy a share of between 25% and 75% of your home’s value and then pay rent on the remaining share. For this reason, it is often referred to as ‘part-rent, part buy’.
We have experience with helping people buy houses using these schemes. We know the eligibility criteria for the various schemes and whether you are likely to be accepted.
