Furness Building Society

Based in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria the society is a mutual organisation, this means that there are no shareholders to pay and all profits are used to increase savings rates and decrease mortgage rates for the members of the society. Whilst the core business is to offer savings accounts and residential mortgages, the Society does occasionally approve commercial mortgages and also works with partner organisations to provide other financial services. Total assets at the end of 2008 were £88m and profit was £1.7m and is now one of the top 20 building societies in the UK.

The Furness Building Society provides fixed, discount or tracker mortgages for first time buyers, customers who wish to re-mortgage or new customers who are switching from another lender. First time buyers may be able to borrow up to 90% of the property value. Two or three year discount mortgages are available - ask your mortgage advisor to find out the latest interest rates on these products. A long term discount product will guarantee to stay an agreed percentage below the Standard variable rate for the whole period of your loan.

You can usually borrow between £20,000 and £250,000 over a repayment period of 5 to 30 years. A free legal package or valuation may be available with some products.
