About us
Creating a nation of happy homeowners
Our Mission
Perenna was established to create a nation of happy homeowners. We believe that everyone that can afford a home, should be able to own one.
And we think people are happiest when they aren’t worrying about money. That means less focus on rising interest rates and cost of living and more time on living their lives.
To achieve this, we knew things needed to change. That’s why we’ve created a new kind of mortgage bank. A bank that changes how mortgages are funded (we use covered bonds instead of savings deposits). This allows us to offer flexible long-term fixed rate mortgages that protect our customers from rising interest rates.
Our customers have certainty over their monthly payments for the whole mortgage term. This allows them to better plan for the future, and it allows us to help more people onto the property ladder.
What’s more, we don’t apply age limits to our products. That means helping more people to stay in their home throughout retirement.
Our goals
Housing crisis
Our mission is to contribute to solving the housing crisis. Our solution aims to help more people to buy a home that they can afford.
Growth crisis
Channel billions of pounds of pension fund and insurance company money into the economy through mortgages.
Climate crisis
Millions of homes need to be upgraded for the UK to reach net zero. We can help get us there.
Working at Perenna
Working at Perenna is rewarding, challenging and impactful. The opportunity to build a new type of bank is a rare one, and the work you’ll do here will make a real difference to real people here in the UK who want to own a home.
We’re a small team, growing fast, so you’ll get to know your colleagues from all areas of the bank really well, and you’ll meet plenty of new ones as we get bigger.
We’re a hybrid company with offices in London and Newcastle. Most of us balance our time by working from one of our office hubs regularly, and working from home when we need to. We have regular in-person meetings and collaboration events, as well as great tools and resources for when we’re working remotely.
