Scottish Building Society Mortgages reviews (349)

A straightforward, efficient process

Following a recommendation by my broker, the process to get an offer along with a later updated offer was quick and simple. The Customer Service team were efficient and always ready to help when required. It was a refreshing change to be able to call a specific individual and get through to them immediately when required. Thank you for making the process simple and friendly! Reviewed on: 22nd June 2022

Good but very slow process

It was frustrating at times how slowly the underwriting process took with only getting my mortgage offer the day of the sale closure and this was with continuous prompting from solicitors and mortgage advisors. It is also frustrating that there is no online system or service for customers to access their mortgage information or account. Reviewed on: 14th June 2022

Gem of a company

There are not many organisations left that still hold traditional customer service at heart…SBS is one of those companies. Lisa, Ann and Lesley were an absolute joy and credit to the company. They were Will us every step of the way through our build. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Reviewed on: 9th June 2022
