Excellent product, Professional service

We applied for a "Uni-Mortgage" and from the outset meeting we had with Tim Randall the introduction, details of the product and the application process was clearly, articulately and professional explained to us. Throughout the whole process from initial meeting to offer letter Tim supported us through the entire process and had an accurate understanding of our situation, his commitment to navigate us through the application process was stead-fast & professional, which was greatly appreciated, he has an impressive work ethic & tenacity and is a credit to Bath Building Society Thank-you Tim Reviewed on: 6th July 2023

Pleasure to deal with

5
Have just dealt with the Bath Building Society for the first time in many years and have been really impressed with their professionalism and courtesy. Special mention to Ingrida who dealt with our delay in submitting the Certificate of Title in a calm and friendly manner and who ensured that funds were released in time for completion. Shame all borrowers don't use you!! Reviewed on: 26th June 2023
Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for your 5 star feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I will pass your feedback on to Ingrida. Many thanks, Nicola Rees, Head of Mortgage Operations. Response date: 27th June 2023

Slow to act and respond

1
Quite possibly the worst mortgage experience in our lives. My wife and I are purchasing a property and the slow response times of Bath and inability to keep to service levels was quite shocking, at one point risking the transaction as our vendor started to lose patience. The BD manager admitted that staffing issues were leading to delays, but there was no proactive communication of such delays until deadline after deadline was missed. The whole mortgage process took over 3 months to conclude. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2023
Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for taking the time out and providing this feedback. I am sorry we have not met your expectations on this occasion and apologise for any delays to your application with us. Would it be possible to contact me directly at [email protected] as I would be interested to have a look into this for you. Ben Hutchings, Head of Mortgage Sales Response date: 28th June 2023

As a joint mortgage holder I have no access to any of the mortgage information. I am not able to access the mobile app as it doesn't recognise me and they dont do online banking. They have however confirmed that if the primary mortgage holder defaults they will then contact me (after my credit rating has been affected). Overall my experience with them and their customer service has been very poor. Reviewed on: 20th June 2023
Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. I am sorry to hear that your experience with the Society has fallen short of our usual service standard. If you could contact us with details of the mortgage account we can try to help you gain access to the mobile app. We are also currently working on an online banking service that should be launched in August. If you would like to discuss this with me so we can try and resolve this for you please contact me on [email protected] Nicola Rees, Head of Mortgage Operations Response date: 21st June 2023

I contacted the team via the app which was very simple I connected to the wrong department in error but the team got me to the correct person within seconds and arranged someone to call me back. Top service Reviewed on: 12th June 2023

My query was a little complicated so rather than continue via typed messages, Oliver gave me his number so we could chat it through and move forward to help my client - excellent service! Reviewed on: 8th June 2023
