The mortgage industry of the United Kingdom was traditionally dominated by building societies, the first of which opened in Birmingham in 1775. But since the 1970s, the share of new mortgage loans market held by building societies has declined substantially. Between 1977 and 1987, the share fell drastically from 96% to 66%, and that of banks and other institutions rose from 3% to 36%. Major lenders include building societies, banks, specialized mortgage corporations, insurance companies and pension funds. During the four years after the 2008 financial crisis, the UK mutual sector provided approximately 80% of net lending to the housing market. There are currently more than 200 significant separate financial organizations supplying mortgage loans to home buyers in Britain, with Lloyds Bank and the Nationwide Building Society having the largest market share.
