Friendly and efficient service with a major glitch

We have had excellent, friendly and efficient service today and throughout our history with FBS, except for a dismaying period when a major error with your systems convinced you that we had an additional mortgage on another property. This took many weeks to resolve, we received a lightweight apology and no compensation for the time and considerable concern this had cost us. Reviewed on: 24th February 2026

Patient, informative and friendly.

Guy Williams was patient, informative and very helpful. He made us feel relaxed and respected in what can be an awkward and intimidating process. We were looking to increase our mortgage and we’re not looking forward to making contact as like any field in which you are not an expert but need detailed advice you can be made to feel stupid or underprepared. Guy was the opposite, he was straight forward hugely personable and helped us navigate the process easily. Thanks Guy. Reviewed on: 10th February 2026
