Scottish Building Society to move Aberdeen office

Scottish Building Society, the world’s oldest building society and Scotland’s only independent building society, has announced that it is to relocate its operations in Aberdeen from Victoria Street to a more modern office environment that is closer to the city centre.

The new premises, within the offices of leading local law firm andersonbain LLP will open for business Monday October 3 2016.

Douglas Sharpe, Scottish Building Society’s Area Manager in Aberdeen, said: “This is good news for our customers. The new office is in a more convenient location for our members and will provide a welcoming environment with our usual counter services and a dedicated mortgage interview area. We have been serving the savings and mortgage needs of our members in the North East since our office in Aberdeen opened in 2008 and it will be business as usual as we partner with the andersonbain team.”

Peter Anderson, managing partner of andersonbain, said: “We are delighted to be working with Scotland’s only independent building society. We’ve had an excellent professional relationship for many years and our association will be strengthened significantly by the move. We already share a common approach to business, offering quality professional services from an approachable team, and we will now be able to further extend the services we can offer to our customers.”
