Scottish Building Society Mortgages reviews (368)

Very friendly service

Overall, my experience was very positive. However, the process was held up by uncertainty around a particular detail. This meant an inconvenient delay to the mortgage. This was a pity as, apart from the delay, I have very much appreciated becoming a member of the Scottish Building Society and its friendly service. Reviewed on: 27th March 2024

The process was very easy, staff were excellent and made us feel secure. Providing us with a mortgage has helped us get back to home ownership, something we wondered after a long period in the rental sector, would ever be possible again. Reviewed on: 11th March 2024

Excellent Customer Service

Spoke to Peter today re overpaying my mortgage. He could not have been more helpful. Patient and very clear explanation. Made everything very straightforward. Outstanding customer service. Thank you Reviewed on: 5th March 2024

Mortgage Redemption Procedure

Within 2 hours of seeking a redemption arrangement the necessary paperwork was in my possession. Furthermore there was only one phone call ! If there was to be a criticism it would be that the early redemption fee of over £2000 seemed excessive Reviewed on: 16th February 2024

Friendly and helpful.

Friendly and helpful. Very prompt in terms of communication. Clarity of information. Contact details easy to follow. Will have no problem if I have any issues. Reviewed on: 13th February 2024

SBS were efficient and communicative

SBS were efficient and communicated regular on the progress of my mortgage. Whilst I was waiting for the purchase of my house to go through, the mortgage rate dropped so SBS issued another mortgage offer with a lower rate and a longer term without me having to ask. The new Mortgage Offer documents arrived promptly, quick I sign the same day and returned. All sorted within 5 days ready for completion of my house. It's easy too deal with SBS and they have a customer contact number which is based in Scotland. This too me is very important that it's in the UK and not a call centre abroad.

Great Society

I used a broker but was copied into the conversation. Very helpful and dealing with a human rather than a computer was great. They went over and above for us. Reviewed on: 5th January 2024

Overall had a good experience, however the wait time to find out if my application had been approved was too long. Think overall I was left waiting around 3 weeks Reviewed on: 5th January 2024
