Newly Qualified Teachers in Grimsby
Today, we find that most schools only offer newly qualified teachers (NQT’s) a 12-month initial contract as standard. Therefore this becomes an issue for any teachers looking to get onto the property ladder. Most of the high street mortgage lenders will see them as being a “contract worker”.
Due to this factor, taking out a mortgage as a teacher will require you to have been in your role for 12 months. Luckily, some smaller lenders are understanding towards these circumstances and may consider your application without a 12-month history.
Things to be Considered:
- You are not required to have any previous experience in the role, so it is fine if you have been studying, and this is your first year as a fully qualified teacher.
- A 12-month first post-contract gets treated the same as a permanent role.
- Mortgages are available up to one month before the start of the first contract (so you can apply in September for example).
- Up to 95% loan to value.
