The Melton Mowbray Building Society

The Melton Mowbray Building Society: mortgages and savings since 1875

The Melton Mowbray Building Society is a building society based in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire (United Kingdom). According to its own presentation, it has been helping its customers buy homes and make the most of their savings since 1875. The society is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority, is entered in the register under number 106184 and is a member of the Building Societies Association.

Mortgage products

The society offers mortgages aimed at different profiles: first-time buyers, self-builders and renovation projects, buy-to-let, existing mortgage customers, remortgaging, credit repair and shared-ownership homes. It also provides specific information on interest-only mortgages, fees and charges, general terms and conditions and a glossary of mortgage terms.

For mortgage intermediation, the society works with Mortgage Advice Bureau and Melton Mortgage Solutions, which compare offers from more than 90 lenders and thousands of mortgages. The society states that it assesses applications on an individual basis, which allows it to handle cases beyond the usual scope of other providers, such as self-build.

Savings accounts

The savings range includes business savings, fixed rate savings, tax-free savings, notice savings accounts, children's savings accounts, easy-access savings, regular savings and limited access savings. The website publishes current and previous interest rates, information on ISA transfers, an ISA transfer hub and guides on how to register and how to submit maturity instructions. It also details account deposit conditions, applicable charges and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Advice and customer support

In addition to mortgages and savings, the society offers financial planning and insurance services. It has a dedicated financial difficulties section for customers worried about paying their mortgage, as well as information on security, identity theft prevention and personal data protection. Contact is handled through callback requests, email and a branch network.
