Scarborough Building Society mortgages

The Scarborough Building Society was formed in May1846 under the original nameScarborough and North and East Yorkshire Permanent Building and Investment Society , making them the oldest building society in Yorkshire and the second oldest in the UK.The current name was introduced in 1903

The Scarborough Building Society's initial objectives were of providing a safe haven for investors' money - and the finance to enable people to build or buy their own homes. The original investment rate was 5% and the first mortgage was for £120. These objectives still hold true today with their commitment to mutuality.

In 1939 the Scarborough Building Society opened its first Head Office, when York House was built in York Place, Scarborough, providing both office accommodation and a full branch. Today the building is still in use as a premier branch in Scarborough.

The first Scarborough Building Society out of town branch was opened in Bridlington in 1955, and from then onwards new branches were opened throughout Yorkshire and into Teesside and the East Midlands. Scarborough Building Society's present 9-strong branch network continues to be a central part of their expanding business.

In 1998 Scarborough Building Society's direct service for mortgages was formalised with the opening of their Direct Mortgage Centre, which has been an outstanding success.
