Extremely helpful and efficient

Having moved to Austria for a few years and rented out our house we needed an ex pat landlord mortgage. Despite the claims of several providers many could not help us or not without unreasonable conditions. But the Suffolk Building Society did! The process was straightforward and staff were and are always very helpful! Reviewed on: 26th February 2022

Great personal service

How refreshing to speak to real people who have the time and knowledge to deal with your application in a personal and professional manner. A real change from the "Dial 1 for this and 2 for that" and being stuck in a loop like you get at so many places these days. Please don't change - this is a rare commodity in today's world. As a local building society you feel they are working for the benefit of their members (upholding the original mission of building societies). Reviewed on: 10th February 2022

Amazing personable and person orientated bank
