Do teachers get better mortgage rates?
As a teacher, you’ll find that more lenders are eager to consider your application, giving you access to some of the best interest rates available. Plus, you can enjoy additional benefits such as lower deposit options and flexible eligibility requirements, including acceptance of variable income and temporary contracts.
While there’s no specific “teacher mortgage,” there are standard mortgages offering the best terms tailored for educators. It’s highly beneficial to consult with a specialist mortgage broker who understands the unique aspects of securing a mortgage in the education sector. They can guide you to the best lenders and help you navigate the process with confidence.
In general, teachers have access to the same fantastic mortgage deals as everyone else, but with added perks that make homeownership even more accessible for those in the education field.

Can supply teachers get a mortgage?
Many lenders are open to applications from supply teachers, though the requirements can vary. For example, The Building Society may accept your income if you’ve worked continuously for the last six months with no more than a two-week gap. Another Building Society requires at least two years of proven work history, while The Bank looks for three years of earnings.
Given these varied benchmarks, working with a broker is essential. They have the expertise to identify which lenders are the most flexible for supply teachers.
What if you’re newly qualified?
Your broker can guide you to lenders who are more accommodating. While some lenders may require a strong employment history or a substantial deposit, others will consider your future prospects. If you have secured permanent employment after your training, this can significantly strengthen your application.
