Review of the Family Building Society, Mortgages:

Dissapointed

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

Great, friendly, professional service always

I spoke to Arounima R at great length asking in depth questions, FBS are lucky to have her, she was calm, professional and detailed. I miss the old school style service that FBS still have, highly recommend them. Reviewed on: 22nd October 2025

Excellent customer service

Spoke to two staff members, Stephanie and Louise. They were both very informative and provided cleat answers to my questions. I felt treated as an individual, and not like a number. Would recommend Family Building Society Reviewed on: 10th October 2025
