Teachers and other education sector professionals can often get mortgages customized to meet their needs. Teachers may be able to get mortgages with flexible criteria and specialist underwriting to accommodate variable income or temporary contracts.
It is not uncommon for teaching staff to work under non-standard contracts.
As well as full-time and part-time teachers, many education professionals work as supply teachers or with agencies, which makes proving a steady income stream more challenging.
When considering you for a mortgage, many lenders will take this into account.
An applicant for a mortgage that is exclusively available to teachers must be at least one of the following:
A teacher who is fully qualified.
Lecturers who are fully qualified.
A teaching assistant.
Newly qualified teachers (NQTs).
