Mortgage case studies
No two customers are the same, so we won’t treat you like you are.
We don’t use an automated ‘tick-box’ approach to affordability. Real people make the decisions, not AI, so you can rest easy knowing that your application is getting the time it deserves.
We do things a little differently here at Furness Building Society. To ensure we can support you in the best possible way, we assess your individual needs, requirements and circumstances before making a decision.
It’s this flexible approach to lending that’s enabled us to help families secure their mortgages since 1865. Here, our mortgage case studies demonstrate how we’ve helped real-life customers overcome challenges to secure their mortgages.
