Applications saw a 46% rise to £190 million in the 12 months to the end of November, the Society’s financial year.

The increased lending saw the Society’s mortgage book grow by £65 million, compared to a £21 million rise in the previous year.

The pipeline of future lending is also stronger than a year ago, with commitment to lend another £56 million – higher than the £37 million reported a year ago.

The Society also saw a retention rate of over 70% - one of the best ever achieved at Hinckley & Rugby.

Chris White, Chief executive, said: “We set our staff a real challenge 12 months ago, to significantly build on our already substantial progress since the credit crunch. They have beaten what were very demanding targets and deserve huge credit.

Retaining very close to three out of every four customers is a great testament not only to the attractiveness of our mortgage products but also how we give our customers an outstanding service from a traditional building society dedicated to our members.”
