From beginning to end SBS provided a quick and hassle free process. They provided a mortgage offer in a couple of days and then money was sent to the solicitor in a timely manner, once requested. I have nothing negative to say about the whole process and I will be forever grateful for their help. Reviewed on: 26th April 2022
