Porting part of our Mortgage

We needed to port part of our existing mortgage to our new home. I contacted Family BS and spoke with Aaron Brown who was extremely polite and helpful and gave us the information we required in a clear and precise manner making the process thus far easy to follow. Reviewed on: 5th June 2024

Highly recommend

I was presently surprised with the excellent service I received. My call was answered within minutes by the representative. Her product knowledge was excellent and was she able to explain clearly the option that best suited my circumstances. She was prompt with sending me further information on the product and came back to me with a positive outcome on the same day. Reviewed on: 30th May 2024

Always a great service!

It's always a pleasure speaking to the FBS representatives anytime I call. They are quick to understand what I need and super helpful in answering my question. I call today and Aaron was super helpful in giving me an update on the opted mortgage product and offering alternatives. I am happy customer and highly recommend them! Reviewed on: 30th May 2024

Shoddy service for a loyal customer.

The letter sent to me on the 8/5/24 gave the wrong figure for the monthly repayment - a highly inflated figure which was frightening when first read. I am elderly and sometimes get thrown by figures. My daughter pointed out your error, but I wonder what would have happened to someone with no advice on hand. This was an example of really shoddy cut and paste by your Loans Underwriting Team. When I phoned I as given an apology and told the correct letter would be sent. So far it has not arrived. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Slick process for booking a mortgage appointment

Mia was very clear on the process when applying for a further advance. She went through an affordability calculator and then explained what the mortgage advisor would be offering when passed for an adviser process Reviewed on: 17th May 2024
