I took out a mortgage with the SRBS after a disastrous experience with a so-called "interest-only" mortgage lender. The SRBs was excellent, all arranged in a few days entirely without problems, Assessments of financial suitability etc are by real people, not a computer algorithm, and I can unreservedly recommend the SRBS for anyone looking for a straightforward mortgage. One final point; in the past, almost all the Society's properties were in Stafford and district, but now they can lend anywhere in England. Read more Read less

We moved our investment mortgage to the SRBS about 2 years ago. They are excellent to deal with and although we reside from outside the UK the process of delaing with them online and through email was flawless. I wish other banks and building societys were run like the SRBS. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage. You won't be disppointed with them Read more Read less
