Bank of England Base Rate Change

As you may be aware, the Bank of England announced a decrease in its Base Rate from 5.00% to 4.75% on 7 November 2024.

As a result, we’re currently reviewing the rates we offer both our savers and borrowers. We will write to members and let them know of any changes that affect them.

Members with a fixed rate mortgage or fixed rate savings account will not be impacted by this change.

Mortgages from Teachers Building Society

We were founded in the 1960s specifically to help teachers with smaller deposits buy homes and it’s been our core purpose ever since. 

Today we reserve our best (lowest) rates exclusively for teachers. We also offer holiday let and buy to let mortgages (which supports more teacher lending).

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage

From the first phone call, all people that I spoke or communicated with had been 100% helpful, supportive and knowledgeable.
