Self build to fixed rate mortgage

4
Overall we have had a great experience with SBS, when in the self build phase of the mortgage SBS were easy to deal with and provided drawdown funds quickly and painlessly once all paperwork was in order. Once we had our building control completion certificate in place we got transferred to a fixed rate mortgage of our choosing within around a week saving us a considerable amount. Overall an excellent experience. Reviewed on: 28th September 2022

Brilliant options for First-Time Buyers

Although I applied for the mortgage through a mortgage adviser, I was happy with the options for first-time buyers that were available from the Scottish Building Society. The process of application was smooth and the documents were easy to provide. They gave me all the information I need, and I feel like I can easily get in touch with them if I have any queries.
