About Melton Mowbray Building Society
Melton Mowbray Building Society was founded in 1875 in the Leicestershire market town of Melton Mowbray. For 150 years the society has served the local community, growing from a small local savings club into a modern building society offering a range of mortgage and savings products.
The society provides residential and buy-to-let mortgage products with individual underwriting on every application. Melton Mowbray Building Society is known for its personal approach, with applicants able to speak directly with underwriters and decision makers. This hands-on assessment means the society can consider a wider range of borrower circumstances than many larger, more automated lenders.

The society is committed to its mutual values and actively supports community organisations in the Leicestershire area. It is regulated by the FCA and PRA and is a member of the Building Societies Association.
