esbs is one of the longest established building societies in the UK.

When it comes to mortgage lending, we offer a ‘common-sense’ approach to underwriting and assess applications individually on their own merits.

We understand that a mortgage can be a complex matter and that having qualified mortgage advisers on hand for assistance is very important. This is why we provide direct access to our Mortgage Team who are always happy to help; whether it’s initially discussing your requirements or questions you may have during the progress of an application or when the mortgage is up and running.
