Ecology Building Society - Welcome
edit Description
Established in 1981 the Ecology is one of the fastest growing building societies in the country. Based in West Yorkshire, we now have over 10,000 open accounts and assets exceeding £60m. Our success stems from a simple friendly approach, customer focus and strongly held convictions. Follow the links below to find out more...
Our initial vision was to set up a building society that specialised in properties that conveyed an ecological benefit in terms of construction, use of land or lifestyle. The idea was sparked at a Green Party Conference, following the experience of a Yorkshire solicitor, David Pedley. He had great difficulty in finding anyone willing to give him a mortgage on a property needing extensive renovation.
Someone asked the question "Why don't we start a building society?" In those days it was possible to start one with just £5,000. Ten people clubbed together, put in £500 each and the Society was registered in December 1980, commencing trading in March 1981 from a tiny upstairs office in Cross Hills, West Yorkshire.
