Cambridge Building Society has reported record mortgage lending of £434m in 2025, marking its 175th anniversary year with the highest level of lending in its history.

“It was a fitting way to celebrate our 175th anniversary. Our core purpose of helping people have a home has never been stronger.

“We achieved record mortgage lending of £434 million and more than 70% of our borrowers whose current deal was coming to an end chose to renew their mortgage with us, reflecting the trust our members place in the Society.”
