I was introduced to the Family BS by the Which magazine brokers. I was retired but circumstances meant I couldn’t buy a property outright. They had a competitive mortgage product that perfectly matched my needs and since then I have made several changes which were dealt with speedily and professionally. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2026

Excellent Service from Family Building Society

Family Building Society have been highly efficient throughout the whole process of applying for our mortgage. They answered our calls quickly, the telephone appointments we arranged took place at the exact scheduled time. Our mortgage adviser was polite, respectful and very efficient. All my emails were answered promptly and she kept us informed all the way through the process. This level of service is all too rare in today's online world but I couldn't have been more impressed.
