The lender said it wanted to give something back to customers working in this sector in what had been a ‘challenging year’ for their respective occupations.

With this new product it said it aimed to ‘simplify and facilitate’ the mortgage process for members of the Emergency Services by giving them access to loan options that may not otherwise be available.

And so, following the success of this product within the county of Buckinghamshire, it has now been extended to help Emergency Workers across the country get the right mortgage for them.

Gerard O’Keeffe, CEO, Buckinghamshire Building Society, said: “After what has been an incredibly challenging year for our NHS and emergency services, we are delighted to be able to be able to give back in this way, to show that we care.”

Buckinghamshire Building Society has added this new extended CARE product to its mortgage portfolio, with others including mortgage options for customers with impaired credit, those who need family support to purchase and a prime product, available for those with good credit rating.

O’Keeffe added: “Our aim as a building society is to offer products that help customers get the mortgage finance that they need, including those who may not easily fit the standard criteria and may need us to understand their individual circumstances, whether joining the property ladder or re-mortgaging.

“Our brand philosophy is to give back and these products do just that,” he added.
