A PLEASURE TO DO BUSINESS WITH!

I took out a BTL mortgage with Family which was secured via a broker (I am an expat and couldn't go direct). Since it has been in place I have had several questions regarding possible future options and have been able to contact Family direct instead of going through the broker. I am so impressed with them. Each time I've called I've been put straight through to an appropriate team member, who has listened and given me excellent advice (not financial, of course) as to which products do what and so on, and today they couldn't help me directly as they don't offer what I am looking for, but they made enquiries and put me in touch with someone who can definitely help. They didn't have to do that - they just wanted to help a client. I can't recommend them highly enough - they're kindly and understanding, courteous and extremely informed and helpful.

50 years between and still as helpful as ever.

They have always been helpful in identifying the needs -v- the opportunities. Oddly they are my "buffers". They gave me my first mortgage in 1975 and now my last in 2025! Reviewed on: 27th November 2025

As per usual, the customer services were second to none. Such a breath of fresh air. Having had mortgages for the best part of 40 years, this company is by far the easiest company to deal with. Thank you!! Reviewed on: 25th November 2025

I spoke to Guy.

I spoke to Guy. Very professional and explained things very clearly. Took his time as I didn’t fully understand and explained the options available. Was very nervous to discuss daunting remortgaging but Guy made the experience great. Great customer service Guy! Thanks. Reviewed on: 25th November 2025

I have not dealt with The Family BS until recently and I had a case which was proving a bit unusual in that it was a Joint application sole proprietor. I initially spoke to Nathan Waller as the usual BDM was on leave, Nathan was excellent. When Sam Morrison came back off leave I went through the case again with him. Before we submitted the case there was lots of questions I had to round things off, I have to say that Sam was absolutely excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he called me back on time, he answered all of my questions, no issues at all, I can't praise him enough and what a nice guy to deal with. I must say that FBS have got it so right, even on the odd occasion I had to ring the main office everyone was great. Well Done FBS. I'm looking forward to seeing now that the underwriters are going to make the final process as good. Reviewed on: 14th November 2025
