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

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.

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

4
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
