In 1823 it was sold by William Arden, 2nd Baron Alvanley to pay off debts, and became a bank. A banking hall was then added to the rear in 1919. The hall is still used as a bank today and currently houses the NatWest branch for Stockport.{{cite web |url=https://www.stockport.gov.uk/underbanks-history-and-heritage/notable-features-and-buildings |title=Underbanks history and heritage |publisher=Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council |access-date=26 January 2024}}
