SBS offered the specialises Guarantor Mortgage product that we required. The application was very thorough, verging at times on painstaking and it was carried out within a tight timescale allowing toe property to be purchased in time for the start of the University term. The communication between SBS and our financial adviser Claudia Kydd at Orchard Independent was highly professional extremely prompt and very helpful Reviewed on: 20th September 2024

Easy and stress free

Easy to speak to and not difficult, only issue is that a product fee was due was informed this could be added to the loan amount but it was not but this was not communicated to me at the start, had to pay it myself which was no issue but then I was not given details on how to do this so ended up having to ring which was a little time consuming Reviewed on: 7th August 2024
