Are you a teacher exploring mortgage options?
At Abbey House Mortgages, we understand the unique challenges teachers encounter when applying for a mortgage. We work with lenders who specialise in supporting educators, offering a more empathetic approach tailored to your profession.
Newly Qualified
As a newly qualified teacher, you will often start your career on short term, temporary contracts before securing a permanent position, which can pose challenges when applying for a mortgage due to the perceived instability of employment.
Supply Teachers
As Supply Teachers you will often have irregular work patterns and varying income levels, which can make it difficult for lenders to assess the borrower's ability to repay the mortgage.
New Contract/Job offer
Teacher turnover, job changes, or transitioning to new contracts are common occurrences. However, these shifts can pose challenges with lenders, who typically prefer evidence of steady income and job stability.
Whether it's navigating job-specific hurdles or addressing any concerns you may have, we're here to ensure a smooth mortgage application process for you.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage
