Scottish Building Society Mortgages reviews (353)

Mortgage porting

Excellent service during house move. No problems with the whole process. Why is there a minimum number of characters required. Reviewed on: 24th June 2023

Thumbs Up

It was a great experience going with Scottish Building Society as they made what was expected to be a stressful process more straightforward. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2023

smooth achievement

We decided on a new mortgage for our otherwise unencumbered property to enable some improvements and to have support funds if required. The approach to SBS was done through a helpful intermediary, and an offer in satisfactory terms was soon achieved. The whole process was achieved without hassle up to completion. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2023

Great

Kind and informative, got me the answers i needed to for my mortgage Reviewed on: 23rd June 2023

Great mortgage products and perfect customer service

Easy remortgage process even though our circumstances involved settling two old mortgages over two properties. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2023

Excellent service and easy process

Switching to Scottish Building Society was a very easy process and regular updates were provided on the progress of our application. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2023

Self Build Mortgage

Good experience overall, always available to talk which is nice. The wait for further instalments and the surveys from both the architect surveyor and Shepard's surveyor is very time consuming and very expensive. This could have been done by the same person and ended up adding £3000+ to my project. I understand that this is necessary to keep everything monitored, but one survey should have been plenty. Very costly Reviewed on: 22nd June 2023

Excellent customer service

Advisor was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Liam sorted out my query in a very professional manner. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2023

Prefessionaly Handled with no issues

Seemless re-mortgage with SBS, good customer service, kept informed troughout Reviewed on: 22nd June 2023

Mortgage repayment

I am paying back by interest only equity taken out on my property.. The interest payment is the most managble on the market I have found and the Scottish Building Society to have been most helpfull in guiding me throughout the process of setting up the repayments with my Bank Reviewed on: 15th June 2023
