A friendly efficient and approachable Building Society, with staff that take pride offering practical advice and solutions on financial/mortgage requirements, assessed on and tailored to the individuals circumstances. Unlike others it has not lost sight of it's societal roots and the need to be seen to treat customers as people and not just numbers or ‘group types’! Reviewed on: 5th May 2022

Buying my first home.

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
