teachers building society

emmamc252

I just posted about getting a mortgage as a newly qualified teacher as I am only on a one year contract to begin with. there is a company I have come across called teachers building society, they are a company aimed at providing mortgages and loans for persons in the education sector. one of the things that it says on there site is that they "understand" short term contracts, and they will even take on supply teachers. could anyone tell me, if we went to a whole of market broker are they likely to have contacts with such specialised agencies?
also, has anyone heard of this company and could they give me any feedback on them?

thanks in advance!

I have no experience on the mortgage side with them but affinity groups and linked providers deals are often not very good. Some of the investment products offered are dire and were killed off years ago via advice as they cannot be justified. Going direct without advice though means you are taking responsibility for choosing the product so if you find out it is naff later, you cannot complain about it.

One solution is to get the mortgage deal information from the society and then go see a whole of market adviser to compare.
