Support at every stage in buying your first home
For almost 60 years, we've specialised in helping education professionals get onto the property ladder, from early career teachers, to supply teachers and teaching assistants.
- If you're ready to buy - one of our friendly advisors can talk you through getting a decision in principle, or if you're ready for a full mortgage appointment then they can provide you with a personalised mortgage illustration.
- If you're almost ready to buy - we'll let you know what you could potentially afford to buy, simplify some of the mortgage jargon, and give some advice on how you could get financially ready.
- If you're still saving - our mortgage calculator and handy guides will help you understand lending amounts, how much you might need to save and how the mortgage process works.
First Time Buyer Mortgage Calculator
Our first time buyer mortgage calculator can give you an initial feel of how much we might be able to lend to you, and your potential budget to buy.
Mortgages from Teachers Building Society
We were founded specifically to help teachers with smaller deposits buy homes and still today we reserve our best (lowest) rates exclusively for teachers. We also offer holiday let and buy to let mortgages (which support 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.

Saving with Teachers Building Society
As a building society we use our members collective savings deposits to support mortgage lending.
So whether you're a teacher, a corporate or charitable organisation or someone else, when you save with us you're helping us lend money to even more first time buyer teachers.
