Family Building Society Mortgages reviews (407)

Really Ives up to its name "The Family Building Society".

We, my wife and I were recommended to remortgage with the Society, by our financial advisor. This was several years ago when a number of other lenders were turning their noses up at Siver Surfers in need of a mortgage. From day one we found that anyone we contacted at the Society was friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to help. After a relatively short time we were hoping to move home, this time I contacted directly. We were give my a personal contact who organised everything smoothly. Unfortunately the sale and purchase fell through but the help from the Society's team will not be forgotten. I think the should possible be called " The Friendy Building Society".

Does what it says on the tin.

As far as arranging a mortgage goes, this was fairly straightforward. The mortgage wasn’t the life mortgage I wanted, but pretty close. When the introductory period was over changing to another product was easy, and my broker recommended staying where I was. My pension easily covers repayments so hopefully the period can be increased eventually especially as this type of mortgage must be the way to go with an aging population that needs choice.
