Family Building Society Mortgages reviews (671)

I almost gave up.

I almost gave up. I had emailed a mortgage broker who never replied. I tried another building society and I am still waiting. But then I contacted the Family Building Society and I talked with Louise who was friendly, funny and knew her stuff. Within 24 hours I had a detailed reply and a clear way forward. I feel supported and informed. So far everything has exceeded my expectations. Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

I called the telephone adviser today, not knowing what to expect. He was very helpful knowledgeable about the Society's products, put me at ease and gave me so much good information that I can go back to my client with extreme confidence. I can't understand why I haven't dealt with before. I certainly will try again in the future, where criteria allows. Reviewed on: 29th February 2024

Superb customer service

Spoke to Luke Green regarding two matters relating to our current mortgage and impact for the future. He was knowledgeable, extremely polite and very helpful. He promised to call or write back on one matter, and he did so within an hour . He is a credit to your organisation. Reviewed on: 21st February 2024
