About Furness Building Society
Furness Building Society was founded in 1865 and has its headquarters in Cumbria. The society is a mutual with no shareholders, offering residential and buy-to-let mortgages with a personal, member-first approach. Furness is particularly known for its manual underwriting, which allows it to consider cases that fall outside standard high-street criteria.
Furness serves members in Cumbria and the North West, with products also available nationally through intermediaries. The society's manual underwriting enables it to consider complex income structures, non-standard properties, and other circumstances that automated systems might decline.
Furness Building Society is regulated by the FCA and PRA and is a member of the Building Societies Association. The society has built a reputation for personal service and flexibility in the regional market.
