Excellent Briefing Rescues Client

With my mortgage product coming to its end in March, i selected another product in January but then failed to provide written confirmation. On phoning FBS today, I discovered my selection was no longer available. But, the FBS agent I spoke with (Serena) led me by the hand through options available, I made my selection, and the show was back on the road. She was enormously helpful and her briefing crystal clear. Well done and thank you. Major Nick Reviewed on: 5th March 2025

LOUISE DID WELL!

I was more than happy with Louise's recommendations regarding possibilities for a mortgage, considering I am a 69yr old foreigner with permanent right to remain but with foreign pensions with a British wife considerably younger. A complex situation which was handled with professionalism and care. Reviewed on: 20th February 2025

Switching my mortgage.

I telephoned to arrange my mortgage switch and the agent couldn't have been more helpful. She explained the working of the associated savings account, which I'd never come across before. She also explained that the cashback offer, which I'd seen online, applied to re-mortgaging, rather than switching. I was then informed about what would happen next. Excellent service!

I sometime struggle with the way Family BS underwrite a mortgage. However on this occasion my experience was what I would deem to be "normal" and no strange requests for items were made and once docs were received the case progressed nicely Reviewed on: 19th February 2025
