Great service and support

5
My new build was delayed. The team at SBS were fantastic and made the whole process seamless. They certainly alleviated my stress relating to the delay in the build. Well done to a great team. Reviewed on: 27th September 2022

Efficient open process

5
An overall efficient and speedy process from start to finish. Although using a broker, they were able to reach out and get information quickly when questions arose on deal and process. Only a few items, which isnt really negative, but, all paper based, which can slow things down a bit (and will become tedious when wanting to check balances etc quickly in future), and lack of direct contact (again used a broker though) during and after process. Neither above would stop me using SCB again or recommending. Deal was agreed and processed roughly in tome frame given, even when other lenders nearly quadrupled lead times! Overall great experience, and suited my needs. Thanks Reviewed on: 27th September 2022

Good once it was set up

4
The set up process was arranged through a broker, seemed to take a long time for additional information to be requested, perhaps a standard list of requirements should be drawn up to give to brokers/clients so that they know from the start what is required? Generally arranging draw downs was fine, a few of the times additional/different info was asked for by SBS so again perhaps a standard list of requirements issued at the start would help speed things up?
