The Woolwich is part of Barclays Bank, the fourth largest bank in the UK. It was founded in 1847 as one of the first permanent building societies. In 1997 it demutualised and floated on the London Stock Exchange. In 2000 Barclays plc bought Woolwich plc.
The main type of Mortgage the Woolwich offers is a traditional mortgage - e.g. you require a certain amount of money to purchase a property for which you make regular monthly payments. With this type of mortgage the maximum loan the Woolwich would be prepared to advance is 95% of the value of the property.
