Definitely worthy of 'Five Stars'; very few mortgage providers offer mortgages to the elderly even if they are financially secure. The Family Building Society is one that does and does so efficiently and with reasonable terms, conditions and interest rates. Assessment and negotiation were thorough and the process helped and well supported by the adviser who kept us well informed.

Mortgages for older folk

My previous household-name mortgage lender of many years standing could not provide a mortgage for older folk but FBS was willing to provide a loan which will end when I'm 75 which happens to suit my circumstances very well.

Our initial 3 year tracker mortgage period was nearly over when we received information about switching to another discounted product. This was Good News! For various reasons we needed permission to let our property and the process for achieving this was a little prolonged (each time we submitted information the Society had requested we were asked for another document or piece of information) however everyone at the Society was very helpful and we have now received an offer on the new product.

Very pleased. Would recommend to anyone in need of a mortgage.

After no follow up from Francesca (despite two telephone messages left) and a no call from Matthew (appointment call arranged for 3pm on Tuesday 2-11-21 via Francesca) we called Head Office.
My wife and I were very fortunate that our call was answered by Skev who was able to deal with all our questions which we had hoped to deal with on the 2-11-21.
Skev is a credit to the Family Building Society-he was very helpful and patient with us-many thanks.

Could help customers more

I had successive reductions in interest rates to my online saver account until it was only 0.2% p.a.. I later found out that Family Building Society has another account - Premium Saver - which gives 3x as much interest and is equally suitable for me.... Read more

I had successive reductions in interest rates to my online saver account until it was only 0.2% p.a.. I later found out that Family Building Society has another account - Premium Saver - which gives 3x as much interest and is equally suitable for me. Why don't Family Building Society advise customers when there is a superior product available?

Helpful response to interaction with Family B. Soc.

After initially receiving a poor response to an enquiry I made the officer responding to my disappointment was excellent and my account is operating well. I put the initial 'hiccup' down to the fact the first agent did not read my enquiry before responding. These things happen.
As to FBS in the marketplace, I am pleased at its competitive stance.and will continue to use it in the future

Family Building Society have truly been excellent. In fact, more than excellent. Right from the start I felt they listened, understood my needs, and delivered beyond my expectations. Without question, all of the people I dealt with were polite, professional and did what they said they would do. The communication was brilliant, and I was kept informed every step of the way. In particular I want to say a special "thank you" to Richard Oddy, the person I had most contact with on a daily basis, as well as Keith Hickman who made every effort to make sure that the transaction went through in a timely manner. Each and every member of staff that I had contact with from beginning to end were very good. I felt I really was part of a family and that is special. Thank you all.

Mortgage product assessment

We needed to discuss the options coming up as our current mortgage product is about to end and we need to decide what to do next. Extremely helpful person guided us through the options in a way that made perfect sense.

We recently submitted a mortgage application and wanted to take the time to say thank you - the people we dealt with were incredible (Blaine, the UW and Michelle, the BDM). So quick to respond and willing to assist with any questions. They both made a slightly tricky application straight forward. Thank you so much, it really is appreciated by ourselves and our client.

Initial mortgage discussion

I spoke at length to Brenda Williams about porting our existing mortgage and some additional borrowing. She was very helpful and now I feel certain that we can proceed to the next stage in the near future.

Poor Service opening Windfall Bond

Information was miskeyed by Family BS when I requested a joint Windfall Bond, which resulted in unnecessary correspondence and delay with my application.
