First time buyer teacher mortgage calculator

Find your budget to buy


Congratulations – the fact you’re here suggests you’ve decided you’d like to become a homeowner. 

Our first time buyer mortgage calculator (below) will tell you in just a few steps how much we might be able to lend you, and what your total budget to buy is.

We may be able to lend you more! We've recently increased the maximum amount we can lend teachers/education professionals from up to 5 times single/joint income to up to 7 times single/joint income. This means we may be able to lend you more than the calculator results below show. Please contact a member of our team by calling us Mon-Fri 9am-5pm on 0800 378 669 or use the 'book an appointment link' for a call back and we can check how much we may be able to lend based on your personal circumstances.

PLEASE NOTE: YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
