Review of the Barclays, Fixed Rate Mortgage:

Buy to Let Mortgage

The process took 4 months instead of the 4 weeks we were quoted culminating in the bank declining to lend on the property as it was deemed "unsuitable", but they were not prepared to offer any further details as to what that meant as its "not the bank's policy" to do so.

DO NOT GET A MORTGAGE WITH BARCLEYS

If you are thinking about getting a mortgage with Barcleys, DO NOT DO IT. I'm currently in the process of trying to complete on a house, and Barcleys are the reason why its been delayed BY A MONTH. Reason why to AVOID Barcleys: 1. The customer service is so incredibly crap. after waiting 40 minutes on 2 separate occasions to talk to someone about the progress of my mortgage (both on the same day, in the morning). I was told 2 completely different things by 2 different people. The first one told me it was all signed off and all they needed was a the certificate of title from my solicitor. The second one told me that they won't proceed because of the inactive rent charge on the house. BOTH complete wrong, after I spoke to my solicitor. 2. If you have any sort of covenant found in your house searches, Barcleys will make it a nightmare to proceed with the mortgage. All other lenders accept indemnity, Barcleys apparently do not. 3. They're all a bunch of complete morons. Reviewed on: 5th May 2023

Easy and clear communication

Having a mortgage with Barclays was a breeze and having a tracker to know where you are in their process was great. The service they provide makes mortgages less daunting and easier to understand. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Within a difficult mortgage system, a fair bunch

As rates rose and been with Barclays for 5 years after our first move since the 2007 crash, we felt that considering inflation and market uncertainty that the 3 choices offered where fair within our reality, meaning away from the larger mechanisms of mortgage creation. We were happy to accept the terms as it slowed us to build within the framework Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Customer experience is not fantastic but the product does the job

When applying, customer support was snooty but once you’re in with a product, they are happy to help. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

Mortgage from Barclays

I feel Barclays provided a great offer on my home mortgage and have been very helpful in guiding me along the journey. Their T&C's are also somewhat customer friendly. Reviewed on: 14th March 2023
