Join the teachers first time home buyers club
Welcome to the teachers first time buyers club
Stepping onto the property ladder is one of life’s big moments, but that shouldn’t mean it needs to be daunting or difficult. After saving a deposit, it’s natural that the excitement of being ready to buy mingles with nerves over how the process actually works.
Erase the unease: we’re here to guide you.
The Teachers Building Society home buyers club is a private club for teachers (and their partners) where we walk you through the home-buying journey one small, simple step at a time.
PLEASE NOTE: YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
What to expect from the club
With hints, information and guides, our aim is to demystify the buying process and leave you confident, calm and in control.
Whether you're planning to buy in 2024 or still saving for further in the future, our buyers club can provide you with some exclusive tips to help you on your journey. Click below to join thousands of other members already part of the Teachers Building Society's Homebuyers Club.
