Mortgages for teachers

At Secure FS, we understand that teachers may not be typical borrowers—and that’s exactly why we specialise in helping you get the mortgage you deserve.

Whether you're a newly qualified teacher (NQT/ECT), on a fixed-term contract, or working as a supply teacher, we’re here to help you navigate the mortgage process with lenders who understand your profession.

Some lenders don't understand the unique nature of teaching income. At Secure FS, we do.

Here’s how we help:

• NQTs & ECTs welcome – You may be eligible for a mortgage with just a signed employment contract.
• Fixed-term & maternity cover contracts accepted – We work with lenders who view these as stable employment.
• Supply teachers supported – Even if your income fluctuates, we can often use your average income to support your application.
• Term-time pay is OK – We explain your income structure to lenders who are willing to work with it.
• Competitive rates from teacher-friendly lenders – We have access to deals that aren’t available on the high street.

You’ve dedicated your life to education. But when it comes to getting a mortgage, you’re often treated like a high-risk borrower—especially if:

• You’re newly qualified and haven’t received your first payslip
• You work on short-term or rolling contracts
• You’re part of an academy trust or independent school with different payroll systems
• You’ve taken time off for maternity leave or sabbaticals

We know how to present your case in the best possible light to the right lenders.

• Free, no-obligation initial consultation
• Personalised mortgage advice for your unique career path
• Access to teacher-friendly lenders across the UK
• Step-by-step guidance from first chat to final approval
• Ongoing support—even after your mortgage completes

Whether you're buying your first property, moving home, or remortgaging, let us take the stress out of the process. Our team has helped hundreds of teachers across the UK find the right mortgage solution.
