In my personal and financial career spanning over 40 years, this is the WORST organisation (Ipswish/Suffolk Building Society) that I have ever had the misfortune to be involved with. They are inefficient, poor-quality staff, take time to make decisions (many weeks), constantly going back and forth mostly on nit-picking matters (why not ask all or any questions early on / up-front?). I am a credible person, no financial issues and approved mortgage in principle. But they and the surveyor constantly mess around. Also, if they have issues with expats, then they should get out of that part of the business. So much stress for me and my broker, waisted my money on costs, and my time. People do not deserve to be treated this way, and they don’t care! As a consequence of what I have been through with them, I have given up on a future retirement in UK and changed my plan and not go back home to where I was brought up in Cornwall. Keep away from them and go to another mortgage company.

We’ve been a cornerstone of the community since 1849. Originally founded to help people buy enough land to enable them to vote – our mission to provide safe homes continues today.
In 2021 we changed our name from Ipswich Building Society to Suffolk Building Society, to better reflect the broader community we serve.
We exist to provide a safe home for savers and safe homes for our communities. We also use some of our profits to help protect local nature and wildlife, and support those facing or at risk of homelessness and domestic abuse.
