Calm through the chaos!

During the rush to complete before the stamp duty holiday FBS had not received a request for the mortgage funds from the solicitor on the supposed completion day! (Fax problem) When this became apparent new business and completions pulled together and the funds were transferred in the nick of time! Many thanks Reviewed on: 27th July 2021

A view from the professional side of the street.....

As a professional mortgage consultant I deal with business representatives on a regular basis and the good ones really stand out from the average ones. Grace Bennett falls within the category of one of the good ones, she is polite, knowledgeable and has been a positive force in my recent dealings with the Family BS . She has 'owned' my enquiry and kept me informed every step of the way. Rather than say what the FBS can't do she worked the enquiry with me to see what the FBS can do - a rare quality. You should have her cloned. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021

Used previously. They were very helpful.

6 years ago they gave us a mortgage to help with a house purchase. They were helpful throughout the transaction and subsequent relationship over 3 years until we repaid the mortgage. We are now investigating the possibility of doing something similar and they are careful and clear in all the discussions we have had to date. Reviewed on: 20th July 2021

Reply from Family Building Society Thanks for your review. We're glad we could help with your house purchase and hope we can do so again! Response date: 26th July 2021
