Founded in 1856, the Darlington Building Society was set up to provide a service to the people of Darlington and to the surrounding area. The building society is and now has grown in to the leading mutual provider of mortgages in the areas of County Durham, North Yorkshire and the Tees Valley.
Darlington Building Society is a mutual organisation and has no shareholder to satisfy. This is a big bonus to its members as it will build up its capital strength for the protection of members' funds and also it can further develop existing products and services.
The Darlington Working Men's Equitable Permanent Building Society was formed principally to provide a key service to the local community and at its heart the Darlington remains a mutual independent building society. It is still owned by its members and is fully accountable to them, and doesn't have shareholders to satisfy. As some might argue, this provides a much better deal for its members.
We recommend that the best way to find out if the Darlington Building Society (or any other mortgage/lender for that matter) is suitable for you is to consult an FSA-qualified mortgage adviser. They will be able to give you comparisons against other leading lenders.
