Review of the Ecology Building Society, Mortgages:

Friendly and Professional

5
Throughout our mortgage application The Ecology Building Society were amazing. They treated us as individual human beings and talked through all aspects of our application over the phone in a very friendly manner. It is because of their fantastic mortgages that we have been able to build our dream off grid home in our woodlands. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

High street banks just did not want to know regarding building a low carbon sustainable home for my family. Ecology welcomed us with open arms & cheque book :-) & could not have been friendlier about it . Its been that way with them for 10+ years now. Highly recommend Ecology Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

I had a buy to let mortgage which allowed me to build the first flats in London to use ground source heat pumps. I was the winner of a FMB Master Builder of the Year in 2005. I would not have received this award without the support of the Ecology Building Society. I support their work without reservation. They support and loan to self builders where other lenders would not go. Thank you Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Fast professional service

Ecollogy B. S are a breath of fresh air in the current mortgage market. None of the usual personal interrogation during the application process -just a straightforward process based on financial common sense Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Brilliant to deal with

5
I am customer who has a self build mortgage with Ecology. They are absolutely brilliant to deal with and made the process of self building my home easy from a funding perspective. I always get to speak to a knowledgeable human, they are always sensible & flexible in their approach. Covid didn’t seem to affect their service delivery. Always impressive, friendly, helpful. I’ve recommended them continuously to fellow self builders. They have proven that a UK based bank/building society can easily deliver a good service, something that most seem unable to do. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Great self build mortgage

5
After trying no end of mortgage providers we heard about ecology. They were fantastic guided us all the way through the application and when the house was completed swapped us over to a standard mortgage. Also over the first few months of the pandemic they were brilliant when everything was uncertain. Can't recommend them enough Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

A refreshing change

5
We have an Ecology Building Society mortgage currently, we used the mortgage to build our dream home. Since being with ecology we have been contacted three times to check in and be offered options to lower our outgoings-how refreshing. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021
