Mortgage for older working person

FSB offered a deal much better than others and for a longer term. My ideal was to take a small mortgage until I retired and then pay it off with retirement funds when I was ready to stop work, and FSB has allowed me to work to this. Reviewed on: 10th October 2023

I rang FBS today and the phone was answered promptly by a real person! That is so rare in the current digital age where people are held up waiting for ages, being told that ‘your call is important to us’ when it clearly isn’t. Such a refreshing change! We’ll done for customer service! Reviewed on: 9th October 2023
