UK Landlords - Phase one of the Renters’ Rights Act is now live, introducing major changes to renting in England. Read more

From 1 May 2026, the Renters’ Rights Act introduces major changes to renting in England. Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs) and section 21 “no‑fault” evictions will end, with all tenancies becoming Assured Periodic Tenancies. Landlords must also provide existing tenants with a government‑prescribed Information Sheet by 31 May 2026, with further reforms following later in 2026.

Notice savings accounts

Ideal if you don’t need access to your funds in the short term. Allows you to save up to £250,000.

A notice savings account typically offers a better return on your savings, compared to easy access accounts. Our notice savings accounts usually require a notice period of either 35 or 90 days, but this may differ subject to account availability.

A notice savings account is likely to be the best fit for you if you don’t need access to your money in the short term. For customers that require easier access to their savings, an easy access account could be the right fit for you.

How do I open my notice savings account?

It is quick and easy to open and manage your account with Family Building Society. You may be able to apply online, by post or at our Epsom branch to open one of our notice savings accounts below, depending on the product selected.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I change my mind after giving notice of withdrawing money?

For most of our notice accounts, once notice has been given it can be cancelled. If you give notice and subsequently decide you want to alter the amount you wish to withdraw or make a change to the date of the withdrawal, then this would require the full notice period to be served again.

Please note that for our Windfall Bond, once notice for closure has been given, this cannot be cancelled or amended.

Will I still earn interest during the notice period?

Yes, you will still earn interest up until the date the withdrawal has been made.

Can Family Building Society change the interest rate?

Yes, our notice accounts have variable interest rates and may change as per the terms and conditions of the particular account. Further information can be found in ‘Section 14: Interest’ of our General Conditions for our Savings Accounts about when we may make changes to the interest rate and how this will be communicated.

What are the alternatives to a notice savings account?

We also offer easy access savings accounts, fixed term bonds, ISAs and some children’s accounts.
