Skipton Building Society

Helping more people have a place to call home has been at the heart of what we do since 1853.
Skipton know that every client has their own circumstances and ambitions. That's why they take an approach that's built around finding ways to help, not reasons to say no.
It's an approach that shapes how they support you and your clients every day.

How we help you find a way


Not every case fits neatly into a box
That's why their experienced underwriters look beyond the obvious and take the time to understand individual circumstances wherever possible. Combining technology with human expertise helps Skipton make informed decisions and support more clients on their journey to home ownership.

Innovation that breaks barriers
Home ownership should be accessible to more people. That's why they're continually looking for new ways to support borrowers whose circumstances may not fit traditional lending models.

Whether it's developing products that help more people take their next step onto the property ladder or improving the application journey, they're focused on creating practical solutions that make a difference.

Championing the broker
Skipton is committed to giving you the support, expertise and access you need to achieve the best outcomes for your clients. From dedicated BDM support to accessible underwriting teams and clear communication, they're here to work alongside you every step of the way.


How lending should be

“Our approach represents all those times you’ve worked with a lender and needed to speak to an underwriter but couldn’t, or had a decision from a computer when a person would have been better. They’re small things that make a big difference, and this outlines the practical steps we’re taking to make things faster, better and easier for you and your clients.”  Paul Fenn, Director of Business Development, Skipton Building Society.
