About Chelsea Building Society
Chelsea Building Society was founded in 1875 in London and grew to become one of the UK's well-known building societies. In 2010, Chelsea merged with Yorkshire Building Society and now operates as a brand within the Yorkshire Building Society Group. Despite the merger, the Chelsea brand has been retained, continuing to serve members under its own name.
Chelsea Building Society offers a range of residential and buy-to-let mortgage products, benefiting from the scale and financial strength of the Yorkshire Building Society Group. The society provides competitive rates and straightforward products, with a focus on delivering good value to its members. Chelsea products are available both directly and through mortgage brokers.
The society operates branches primarily in the South West of England and has a strong intermediary presence. As part of the YBS Group, Chelsea benefits from robust risk management, strong capital reserves, and access to a wider product development capability. It is regulated by the FCA and PRA.
