Family Building Society Mortgages reviews (514)

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.
