Buckinghamshire Building Society mortgage

The Buckinghamshire Building Society was founded in 1907 in Chalfont St Giles by a group of local businessmen. It was renamed the Buckinghamshire Building Society in 1961, and expanded in the eighties to include a second branch in Chalfont St Peter. In 1998 the original building in Chalfont St Giles was totally destroyed by fire. Once the head office reopened, plans to open a Mortgage department in the branch office were realised. In the last seven years the Society's membership has doubled in size, and its assets have grown from £1m in 1960 to over £100m by the year 2003.

The Buckinghamshire Building Society is a Mutual Society, therefore owned by the members. In common with all mutual societies, the Buckinghamshire Building Society has no shareholders to pay, so the emphasis is firmly on providing value to existing and new members through competitive products.
