UCB Home Loans Corporation Ltd (from Union de Crédit pour le Bâtiment) is a specialist mortgage lender of Nationwide Building Society, working primarily through regulated intermediaries. UCBHL operated out of a single location in Sutton with over 300 employees, relocating to Bournemouth and merging with the Portman Building Society's The Mortgage Works in 2007 following Nationwide's merger with the Portman.[1]

It ceased new lending on 31 October 2008, but continues to collect money from its customers at rates that are above average. [[2]]

Existing customers of UCB Homeloans are paying a rate that is currently 4.99%+ above base rates..[3]
