It took over 6 months for the mortgage team to sort out the account, even though the bereavement team has passed on all of the information required, twice.

There was a series lack of communication and so much red tape. I was passed from department to department and no one could help. In what was a very distressing time anyway, having to deal with this for 6 months (whilst still getting letters addressed to the deceased) was overwhelming.

I really hope that my complaint has made them reevaluate their processes as I would hate for someone else to experience what I went through

Unexplained repayment terms

I have a BTL mortgage and wanted to repay some of the loan value and reduce the repayment term. Barclays suggested paying down the maximum without incurring any penalties. Great I thought, until they conveniently forgot to mention to me that if you pay more than 3 months worth of your usual monthly mortgage payment, they reduce your new monthly amount, BUT the term of the mortgage remains the same. I feel like Barclays were not transparent or clear enough at the time when I made my enquiries and should have been more honest. I wouldn't have even thought to ask them whether they had some sort of '3 month rule'. Lesson learnt! I will be moving to another lender now, once my term with Barclays is up in a few months time and will have cleared a big chunk of my mortgage. I wouldn't recommend Barclays. They are sneakyand dishonest.

I hav gave no stars because - having banked with Barclays for 30 years, borrowed & repaid them thousands of pounds without 1 late payment, my experience of the mortgage application made me feel physically sick. They had me on the phone for nearly 2 hours - I was only looking for a small mortgage- despite them having good mortgage deals on the net they eventually offered me a rate a quarter more than them rates & after asking me what my budget was they made sure eventually that they took me right up to the top of my budget. They are sneaky snakes & I would advise avoiding them where mortgages are concerned.

Complete waste of time and money, will promise the world and then withdraw last minute

Do take note of the poor reviews, I can assure people that they are well founded. We were approved after formal application and valuation was complete. Then the underwriters changed their mind. Have lost my dream house due to their incompetence.

I transferred my mortgage to Barclays, that part was easy, every other step has been horrifically painful. Logging into the account is painful, speaking to someone (with their six security questions) has been painful. Paying my mortgage off so I dont have to speak to them again has been painful. Im a normal person with a normal mortgage, nothing special, I would actively recommend against taking a mortgage out with Barclays/Woolwich.

Bank not transparent with their lending criteria

The bank did not disclose at the outset what type of property they would not lend on. Basically if their surveyor did not like the decor then he would give a bad report and the bank would not lend. All this and 4 months of them faffing about with the application and having told us its 99% certain that they would lend us the finance, and we had spent money on legal fees, private surveys etc based on their assurances. Very very unfair.

As a first time buyer, I felt completely in the dark when it came to applying for a mortgage. Add in help to buy, a new build, and buying off plan and the situation was overwhelmingly. A gentleman called Thomas from Barclays did my first affordability checks over the phone and later on my mortgage application. Thomas was a saint dealing with my million questions, his patience was unending. He was completely knowledgeable, and hand held me through the process, he was positive throughout the process, always reassuring when I was worrying about everything. I can’t say enough good things about Thomas and Barclays and the service I received. Thomas was the friendliest person I’ve come across in terms of banks and customer service and I will be going back to Barclays in the coming year when I look to move to a bigger property. A really good experience made easy by Barclays staff.

Great rates and rewards

I'm on an excellent fixed rate. Get a monthly cash reward for banking, insuring and using a mortgage from barclays. Great customer service the few times I've needed it too. Oh and their app is excellent.

Great Mortgage Products

Recently I came across a business opportunity which Barclays supported me with, while offering one of the lowest interest rates in the market. I already have a mortgage with them, their integrated process with the existing mortgage was straight forward.
