Stroud and Swindon Building Society was originally established in 1850 as the Stroud Provident Benefit Building Society.
Over the years a series of acquisitions of other societies including the Bristol Permanent Building Society and the Frome and Selwood Building Society saw the Stroud Building Society develop and grow. Merger with the Swindon Permanent Building Society in 1986 led to the change to the current title of Stroud and Swindon.
Stroud and Swindon is now the 15th largest building society in the UK with assets in excess of £3.2 billion and is the largest independent society based in the South West. The Society now employs over 400 people in its Head Office and network of 22 branches throughout Gloucester, Wiltshire, Somerset and Monmouthshire.
Stroud & Swindon Building Society is not endorsed by or associated with the Good Finance Guide. All trademarks remain the property of their respective companies.
Mortgage code compliance board
You and Your Mortgage
The Mortgage Code sets standards of good practice as to how mortgage lenders and intermediaries deal with their customers.
When sourcing your mortgage you should check that your lender or intermediary is registered under the Mortgage Code. More than 150 lenders and 13,000 intermediary firms, covering virtually the entire market, have registered under the Code. If a lender or intermediary fails to meet the standards of the Mortgage Code, and you suffer as a result, you have the right to seek redress under a compulsory complaints process.
You, as a potential mortgage customer, must be given a copy of the leaflet 'You and Your Mortgage' at your first discussion about a mortgage. The leaflet outlines the standards which mortgage lenders and intermediaries have to meet.
