First class customer service.

5
First class customer service. I had 2 questions and received prompt email responses to both. One enquiry required a telephone call to confirm certain details and, having been promptly connected to the person I had been communicating by email, everything was resolved within minutes. Very impressed. Reviewed on: 19th June 2025

I telephoned FBS as they had failed to pass me some information they agreed to deliver when I last contacted them some 6 weeks previously. I was dealt with efficiently and the information was promised within a few days. Reviewed on: 18th June 2025

Spoke to an incredibly helpful lady who assisted me with altering my address, and gave reassurance about how and when I will remortgage. I felt anxious about calling as I only completed on Monday and have never had a mortgage. She was fab, and I didn’t feel nervous at all. Reviewed on: 13th June 2025

I tried to get through on the 9th June. Automated service says I was number one in the queue. I hung on for 30 minutes each minute to be told I was first in the queue. It then offered me a call back service which I acceoted but did not get a call back. Today I phoned again and Louise Taylor answered the phome and thank goodness was extremely helpful and was able to help me. Reviewed on: 11th June 2025
