BuildStore Reviews 

A First-Class Mortgage Broker. We have been on a self-build journey for 2 and half years and SHAUN SMITH has provided excellent advice and service throughout. We needed to release equity to buy our plot, then a self-build mortgage for the build and finally re-mortgaging to a conventional residential mortgage when the house was completed. Buildstore via MAB has access to a vast range of products to fit all circumstances and came up with highly competitive products for each stage of our requirements. 10/10 for Shaun, Aysha and all the Buildstore team that supported us on our adventure.

Colin Telford at BuildStore has been exemplary in the mortgage process for our self build. Incredibly helpful and supportive, taking us through the process to approval of our self build mortgage.

Build Store were practical, efficient, always available when needed, and friendly. They arranged financing for my two house building project, and when a house sale fell through, sorted out a complex refinancing with very little notice.
Now I have finally sold my old house, and can look back on the whole nightmare, I realise that Buildstore were always reliable, available, and did what was needed. Thank you!!!

Have used Buildstore a number of times and have always been brilliant. Would highly recommend for self builders

Stuart has been great, always available to talk, and review our situation, it has been a good help along the way.

Shaun was amazing. Such a seamless way of dealing with our finance applications. Highly recommended.

Build loan were very straight forward .They were alway there to answer questions and advise and always very prompt to make payment as we needed them for our build

Stuart provided excellent advice and assistance in securing our decision in principle. Would highly recommend.

Using build store was such a great help as building your own home is such a stressful thing to do, they supported us throughout and were always on the other side of the phone if you needed anything

The whole process with BuildStore was so clear and guiding us in each and every stage of the build loan process. Hope to keep progressing well with the guidance of buildstore team.

Utter .rubbish-try using their plotsearch, logging in or 'joining'. Complete waste of time

The whole process of building our house was very stressful at times. Throughout Buildstore could not be faulted in providing assistance and advice. We would not hesitate to recommend them to prospective self builders

The whole process of building my home was overwhelming at times. But Buildstore helped all the way giving guidance and reassurance , with great patience to someone who was way out of their comfort level . Thank you

The communication through the portal is woeful and too distant. There needs to be a dedicated account manager for application who knows what the process is and how it is proceeding.
We were delayed for at least a month because you didnt update our solicitors details in a timely manner and even after being told more that twice you still sent the info to the wrong solicitor. When we pushed we were told it was due to an error in the system with updating solicitors information - complete rubbish!
We were due to get the first release of funds when we completed foundation stage, we have actually got to roof on before getting this. It is only due to being able to use business capital that i could proceed otherwise your process which took 4 - 5 months would have cost me circa £7k in extra rent.
All in all your process from a customer perspective is appalling

Knotweed problems and a requirement to secure an offer quickly!
After initial consultation I had an appointment with a very helpful and knowledgeable self build specialist broker Stuart.
The most suitable lender was selected that would be happy to deal with knotweed and managed with some financial planning I managed to secure the correct amount of funding at a reasonable interest rate.
I also received help and advice to provide the correct building costings as most of the work was to be carried out myself. Excellent communication from start to finish with emails often answered outside of normal working hours. I feel the whole team at Buildstore worked really well together and went the extra mile to secure my mortgage offer in record time.
I would not hesitate to use them again for any new projects.

Great service from the start. Nikki was very professional and it was refreshing to have 1st Class customer service. Thank you again

Used BuildStore for our self build mortgage. Brilliant service from start to finish. Kept us up to date with progress, supported us when we couldn't work out something. Just amazing service. Ciaran has helped so much on the final stretch and now we have a beautiful bungalow to call home. Thanks for everything

Build store as a whole are a great company, who provide a positive experience. Their mortgage advisor delivers fantastic customer service and it is clear the mortgage advisor cares about their clients.

However, there were a few times during the process where we’d have liked buildstore to be little more clear in their requirements.

A very good friend recommended me to use the services of this company., BuildStore, and I am happy. This year we were helped by Mr. James Park. I want to thank him for his patient and professionalism.

This review is specifically geared towards the post completion service provided by Tracey Murray, our customer support and retention specialist at Buildstore. No question is too much, she has been excellent at providing guidance, is prompt with her responses and has made the entire stressful process so much easier. Thank you!
