Over 60's mortgage

Currently lookin for an over 60's mortgage for a building renovation project. Louise has been exceptionally helpful throughout and it looks as though Family Building Society will be able to offer the product I am after. Reviewed on: 5th February 2025

Great customer service - poor website

Guy was extremely helpful and patient explaining capital and overpayments - but the process of leaving a review is overly complicated - especially if you are trying to use a phone. Reviewed on: 5th February 2025

Dissapointed

Here’s a reworded version of your feedback: **"The experience with Family was disappointing. There was a significant delay in reviewing the documents, which added unnecessary frustration to the process. The case was initially referred to them for consideration before the valuation was booked, so it was surprising to receive a decline without prior discussion. It would have been far more constructive to have a conversation about why the case didn’t meet their lending appetite, rather than simply receiving an email with the decision."** Reviewed on: 23rd January 2025
