Is National Building Society the best place in the U.K. to apply for a mortgage?

Answer by  Ann89 (613)

Yes, you may find the interest rates are more competitive and there are different loans to choose from. Building Societies tend to offer finance for purchasing a house.

The interest rates are normally lower and will lend to a vast number of people in different avenues of employment.

I am not sure. National Building Societies are cooperatives. They may offer better lending conditions that major financial establishments. However, I have looked into the list of major building societies in the UK and I didn't find any company called "National Building Society". I would be careful and look at different providers of mortgages.

Different lenders have different criteria so get a number of mortgage quotes through a broker and through your bank or building society. Compare rates and upfront costs before buying.
