Bath Building Society Mortgages reviews (332)

First class service from a very helpful organisation

We were looking to purchase a property for our son to live in for up to 3 years whilst he was living in another part of the U.K. The Bath Building Society’s Buy for Uni student mortgage product was exactly what we were looking for. However, as well as having a market leading product, they also had a team of people behind it that took the time and trouble to understand our circumstances and come up with a finance offer. Have nothing but praise for the way we were looked after, Reviewed on: 22nd May 2023

I would like to express my appreciation for the way my remortgage has been handled by Bath Building Society. I was offered a product that exactly suited my circumstances and which was a great relief to me at the time. It has since been serviced efficiently and promptly, and I have at all times felt that I had the help that I needed. Reviewed on: 17th May 2023

Not great legal work

Relatively slow process and high (unnecessary?) fees. Not impressed by the solicitor handling the case for BBS. Although I recognise they are acting for BBS and not on my behalf they were fairly uncommunicative, incorrectly quoted fees for work, slow to update information (e.g. completion statements were out of data and therefore inaccurate) , incorrect statements, left requests for vital (and large) fees until less than 1 hour before completion deadline. Charging £35 for completing the process online instead of by post? in the 21st century???? Some kind of joke? Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023
Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for taking the time out and leaving this feedback. It might be worth taking this up with the Solicitors acting as it seems there has been various issues here as you have highlighted. We don't recommend Solicitors here at the Society but all firms must meet certain criteria in order to act for us. I can be contacted on [email protected] should you want a chat about it.
