Why choose Saffron Building Society
Essex Building Society
Saffron Building Society has been part of the Essex community since 1849, providing personal mortgage lending with a genuine commitment to helping people find the right home loan.
Individual Underwriting
Every application at Saffron is reviewed by a real person who can exercise judgement and flexibility, rather than being processed through a rigid automated scoring system.
Self-Build Mortgages
Saffron is one of the few building societies offering dedicated self-build mortgage products, releasing funds in stages as your build progresses from foundations to completion.
Expat Mortgages
Saffron can lend to UK expats purchasing or remortgaging residential property in England and Wales, a niche market that most mainstream lenders will not consider.
Later Life Lending
No maximum age at application or term end on many products, allowing older borrowers to access mortgage lending using pension and retirement income.
Renovation and Conversion
Saffron can lend on properties requiring renovation or conversion, including barn conversions and other non-standard builds that mainstream lenders often decline.
