Who we are:

At Nottingham Building Society we’re going through an exciting period of change as we focus on the question of what mutuality means in the modern world. 

In 2024, borrowers face potentially more challenges than ever before, and we’re evolving our mortgage proposition to ensure we can really have an impact on growing homeownership and supporting borrowers. 

Our research shows us that a growing number of borrowers are defined as non-standard by the industry and our new strategic goal is centred around how we can better serve these underserved groups. 

Key to that aim is to really understand the person behind the application and to break down the unnecessary barriers that prevent them from purchasing an affordable property. 

And our innovative new foreign nationals proposition, which launched on 1st May, aims to do just that. Read more about our foreign nationals and returning expats proposition here.
