In 1963-64, he commissioned Scottish architect James Gowan to build a house on West Heath Road, overlooking Hampstead Heath. The house is Grade II listed and was for sale in March 2025 for £11 million. Almost two decades later, in 1982, Gowan designed a second house for Schreiber, in Chester.
In 1942, he married Sara Weinstock in London. She was the daughter of Rabbi Dovid Weinstock, who was killed by the Nazis in Buchenwald concentration camp on 16 October 1939. Sara had arrived in London from Vienna with her two older sisters, on a Kindertransport in December 1938. In 2024, she celebrated her 100th birthday. They had three children.
