At Teachers Building Society, we're dedicated to helping teachers across England and Wales buy homes. Our mission is simple: to support those who teach, and we've been driving this mission for over half a century.
Our Story
We were founded in the 1960s by a group of rebels who wanted to change the way teachers were treated by high street lenders. Back then, teachers were considered unattractive lending prospects, but our founders were determined to make a difference. Today, we're proud to be a mutual organisation, focused on serving the interests of our members, rather than shareholders. This means we're dedicated to helping teachers with smaller deposits buy homes, and we're committed to keeping our best rates exclusively for teachers.
Our Services
We offer a range of mortgages and savings products designed specifically for teachers. Our mortgages include fee-free options for first-time buyers, teacher first-time buyer mortgages, teacher remortgaging, holiday let mortgages, and buy-to-let mortgages. We also offer a range of savings accounts, including savings for teachers, corporate and charitable organisations, and SIPP and SSAS accounts.
Our mortgage calculator is a quick and easy way to find your 'budget to buy', and our friendly team is always available to help with any questions or applications. We're proud to be a building society, using collective savings deposits to support mortgage lending and help even more teachers buy homes.
Our Values
We're founded on strong principles, and we're committed to making a positive impact on our community and the environment. We're dedicated to helping teachers, and we won't rest until every teacher who wants our support in buying a first home has received it.
