Porting part of our Mortgage

We needed to port part of our existing mortgage to our new home. I contacted Family BS and spoke with Aaron Brown who was extremely polite and helpful and gave us the information we required in a clear and precise manner making the process thus far easy to follow. Reviewed on: 5th June 2024

Shoddy service for a loyal customer.

The letter sent to me on the 8/5/24 gave the wrong figure for the monthly repayment - a highly inflated figure which was frightening when first read. I am elderly and sometimes get thrown by figures. My daughter pointed out your error, but I wonder what would have happened to someone with no advice on hand. This was an example of really shoddy cut and paste by your Loans Underwriting Team. When I phoned I as given an apology and told the correct letter would be sent. So far it has not arrived. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Slick process for booking a mortgage appointment
