About Family Building Society
Family Building Society was formed in 2014 when National Counties Building Society rebranded to better reflect its evolving mission. National Counties itself was originally established in 1870, giving the society over 150 years of heritage in mortgage lending. The rebrand signalled a shift in focus towards intergenerational lending and products designed to help families at every stage of life.
Family Building Society has carved out a distinctive niche in the UK mortgage market by offering products specifically designed for family-based lending. This includes mortgages where parents can use their property or savings to help children buy their first home, later life lending for borrowers in retirement, and products where family income can be combined to improve affordability. The society also offers standard residential and buy-to-let products.
The society is headquartered in Epsom, Surrey, and lends across England and Wales. Family Building Society products are available both directly and through mortgage brokers, and the society has built strong intermediary relationships. It is regulated by the FCA and PRA and is a member of the Building Societies Association.
