Old school service but in the best way. Personal touch and friendly customer service. Reviewed on: 28th December 2024

So grateful for this company

We applied at the wrong time of year really, but this is the only company willing to look at us for us, and not just a tick box. Extremely grateful to SBS for everything Reviewed on: 20th January 2025

Outstanding SBS mortgage service.

Both Jackie Simpson Lending Manager and Kay Baird Mortgage Adviser were both exemplary in the comprehensive, informative and thoroughly professional manner in which they carried out their work in relation to switching mortgage products at SBS. Their calculated, flexible approach in treating applicants individually was most accommodating and tremendously refreshing in today's predominantly technical decision making age. Top marks indeed to two extremely capable SBS personnel. I would highly and unreservedly recommend their quality service. Reviewed on: 2nd December 2024

Breath of fresh air putting customers first

The customer experience I have had at Scottish Building Society it that you get the personal touch it feels much more customer focused and one on one not that you are just a number. It's a breath of fresh air. Reviewed on: 27th October 2024

Retirement mortgage

Arranged our retirement mortgage, yes there was a lot of paperwork required, but found them extremely flexible and helpful. Would strongly recommend them if you are after a similar product Reviewed on: 17th October 2024

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

Scottish Building Society were very fast in replying to any questions or queries I had and happy to change minor details for me, which was very reassuring and put my mind at ease during a busy and stressful time buying my first home. Reviewed on: 6th September 2024
