Intermediary viewpoint

5
SBS, when I have used them, have always been brilliant. The BDM is always on hand to run things by as they are more bespoke than most high street lenders. Their products have definitely improved over the last few years and the service I get from the whole team, including being able to talk to the underwriter, is second to none.

Easy to deal with

5
I took out a self-build mortgage and was delighted at how simple the process was. Being able to deal face to face with a member of staff is a very big bonus and the aftercare was excellent. As a result I have remained with SBS since completing the build, converting to their standard variable rate mortgage product. Reviewed on: 4th May 2021

I bought a house back in September 2020. This is all thanks to Peter at the Edinburgh office. He provided the best customer service I have ever experienced. Peter worked so hard to make this process as straight forward and easy as possible despite some issues that arose on our behalf. He couldn’t have been any more professional, clear and friendly and I’m so grateful that when I picked up the phone one day to enquire it was him that answered. He is to thank for our amazing first home and we appreciate all of his hard work so much. I highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much Peter. Melissa Cummings Reviewed on: 10th February 2021
