Knowledge Hub

Buying your first home is an exciting time and, at times, an overwhelming experience! As an independent, mutual building society, we have put together a comprehensive guide containing everything you need to know about becoming a first-time buyer.

At Chorley Building Society, we are committed to protecting the environment and our team are equally as passionate about the part that they play in this. We asked a few of our colleagues for their tips on how they are trying to protect the environment – there’s no surprises that these tips also save money too!

Making a Will may not be something most of us would consider a top priority- after all, according to research by Royal London, 59% of UK residents still don’t have one.* However, it is a vitally important document that gives you the ability to do far more than divide up your estate.

Deciding to buy a house can seem overwhelming at times, with many people worried about how they will be able to save for a deposit. However, having a plan in place with realistic goals can help make the dream of home-ownership become a reality. At Chorley Building Society, we look at all our mortgage applications on case by case basis so we encourage anyone thinking about buying a home to talk to us about it. We are keen to offer a flexible approach which means we will consider each applicants individual circumstances rather than a computer making the decision.
