Brilliant help from Ed

We have a case where an older client has approached us for a capital and interest mortgage. We have emailed Ed Dawson all the details and Ed has been brilliant with helping us with the figures and whether the case is possible. We have just submitted the case this morning and are very optimistic this will go through. We are very happy with the help we have had from Ed and will keep in touch if we need anything further.

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
