Scottish Building Society
This building society was first founded in 1848 as the Edinburgh Property Investment Company and became the Scottish Building Society in 1929. Total assets increased to over £327 million for the financial year to January 31st 2010 and liquid assets were reported to be £84 million, showing a continued increase upon previous years.
The focus remains upon helping Scottish residents to save and be able to buy their own home. There are 5 branches and a network of local agencies serving the whole of Scotland. Mortgage products are usually only possible for Scottish properties although existing customers can usually move their product to other parts of the UK and new customers who live in the far North of England may be able to apply.
Mortgage products include
- Fixed rates
- Discount rates
- Trackers
- Standard variable rate
- Buy to Let
- Guest House
The Society will cover basic legal costs in most cases as well as provide a free basic valuation. Interest is usually charged on a monthly basis and underpayments are possible up to the value of any previous overpayments. You can also arrange to borrow back previous overpayments at no charge.
Most products will incur a penalty charge if you repay in whole or part the outstanding mortgage balance although overpayments of up to 10% each year are usually allowed.
