Here’s a reworded version of your feedback: **"The experience with Family was disappointing. There was a significant delay in reviewing the documents, which added unnecessary frustration to the process. The case was initially referred to them for consideration before the valuation was booked, so it was surprising to receive a decline without prior discussion. It would have been far more constructive to have a conversation about why the case didn’t meet their lending appetite, rather than simply receiving an email with the decision."** Reviewed on: 23rd January 2025
