Cheshire Building Society

The Cheshire was established in 1870 in Macclesfield and it was one of the first permanent Societies. Today the Society is the product of 13 mergers, which began in 1969 when the Cheshire merged with the Northwich Building Society.

This was followed by a series of smaller mergers through the 1970's and 80's. The branch network now extends throughout the North West of England and includes 52 building society branches and 13 property service branches.

The Cheshire now employs over 800 staff and ranks 11th in size out of a total of 63 UK building societies. It is a successful, independent, regionally based society with a strong commitment to mutuality. The Cheshire aims to put the customer first and is committed to simultaneously maintaining its independence whilst ensuring growth and profitability. It strongly believes that mutuality works for the greater benefit of all its members.

As a mutual building society, the Cheshire is owned by its members and intends to remain that way. Because it has no external shareholders its members are central to everything. And because they don’t have to pay dividends, they share the results of success with members, so rather than focusing on maximizing profits, the Cheshire aims to maximize customers’ rates.

The Cheshire offers theses main mortgages:

  • Fixed
  • Tracker
  • Discount
  • Cash back mortgage
  • Standard Ownership
