The group are set to have themselves a merry Christmas after experiencing a 10% growth in market share and mortgage balances rising by 12.7%.

Mark Bogard, chief executive at the Family Building Society, said: “This year we have continued to deliver a personal service and an innovative and award winning range of products that our introducing brokers and their customers have thanked us for.

“We have long lent to older borrowers many of whom have been turned down by high street lenders."

This success comes after the launch of the Retirement Booster which provides a regular monthly sum and offers owner occupied mortgages for both UK residents and ex-pats.

Bogard added: “Whilst others talk about helping the older borrower, they can’t or won’t deliver the solutions this under-served market needs in the way that we have done for many years.”
