Very quick service, smooth and efficient service

5
Very quick service. From application to mortgage offer just under 4 weeks, this at a time when all institutions were inundated with applications to beat the labour stamp duty increases. I had been advised that there would be a delay because of the SD increases so was pleasantly surprised to receive my offer in such a timely manner. Tim was especially helpful at the application stage. I have now had notice of completion. All in all a very smooth and pleasant experience Well done BIBS, impressed with you.

A listening approach

5
My mortgage application could have been declined because the nature of the property doesn't fully fit with the Society's lending criteria. However, there are many positives about the property - and at every stage, Society colleagues were prepared to look at potential snags in the light of the bigger picture, to arrive at a balanced and considered view on whether a mortgage could be offered in my overall circumstances.

BBS were great for our guest house mortgage

5
Bath Building Society was very flexible and set up a mortgage for our guest house. All the other lenders we approached (Lloyds, Natwest, Halifax etc.) were unable to help because we didn't fall into a standard tickbox category. The rate was always competitive, we had a series of discounted rate deals. Been with them for about 20 years. I highly recommend BBS. Reviewed on: 24th April 2025

My mortgage process was delayed because essential questions were not asked promptly by Bath at the outset. This delay ended up costing me over £1000 due to being on the SVR with my previous provider. The app itself is difficult to use and lacks necessary information accessibility. While I was satisfied with the rate during my mortgage term, any potential savings were negated by the delays in the initial months, largely caused by Bath. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Bath and will not return. Reviewed on: 24th April 2025
