Review of the Family Building Society, Mortgages:

I rang to find out about how to apply for a mortgage.

I rang to find out about how to apply for a mortgage. The security process was politely and quickly gone through, and Kieran from the New Business Team was extremely helpful and informative. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

My experience with FBS

There are very few Building Societies and Banks who will lend to seniors in retirement or still working in retirement.. I cannot recommend FSB to highly. This lender has employees and staff who are dedicated to this section of the market. From the initial phone in contact to the New Business section I was treated with care, consideration and understanding. I would like to Sible out Louise Taylor who embodies all the qualities that this lender offers. Thanks to her and the underwriting team, both of whom have a 'can do attitude'my wife and I can look forward to leaving our rental days behind. Try them out. You won't be disappointed..

Second to none!

The nicest financial institution I have ever dealt with. Always polite, friendly, professional and genuinely they really make you feel like you are a valued customer. I cannot praise them highly enough. After having a mortgage with them for some years I am more than happy to now also entrust them with my savings too. Such a pleasure dealing with them.

Protracted house sale and purchase
