Mortgage Help And Advise

After being with Bath Building Society for nearly 10 years, I was looking to move to a new property and sorted out advise from Bath B/S about keeping my business with them regardless on how competitive some lenders are at this present time ( cheapest isn't always the best ) After talking it throw with Ian Birch from Bath B/S , his great help made and advise made the hole process so easy to deal with and one major plus I must say at any one time I needed to contact him regarding the new mortgage he was always there to help and got back to you promptly . I would totally recommend Bath B/S 110% to any one looking for Mortgage J.S.Gosal Reviewed on: 26th October 2021

First, it's very slow. Many last minute surprises

First, it's slow, very slow. Next dont get your hopes up. Everything seemed great (but slow). Finally we received the offer long after we hoped to exchange. The offer contained a number of demands that contradicted the information supplied in the application, literally impossible & impractical demands. So we are now having to start the entire process again. Find a new property, make a fresh application, etc. It would have been better if they had suggested that it's riverside location could raise problems rather than wait months to be congratulated with impossible demands. If you wanted to say No to the property just say so Don't say Yes and then ask the impossible like no site fees for a house on a private road and insist on preferential treatment on non-allacoted parking. Numpties! Even the surveyor got the house age wrong by 20 years. They also requested 50% more charge against my parents property than discussed during the application. As a first time buyer, this couldn't have been disheartening. Reviewed on: 31st March 2025

Good service but sometimes slow

Customer service was good but some of the internal processes seemed very slow. We received excellent prompt responses when we chased for progress but would have preferred not to have to chase either by quicker processes or regular updates. Reviewed on: 24th March 2025

Reply from Bath Building Society Hi Jon, thanks for taking the time out and leaving this feedback. Unfortunately we have been very busy due to the changes in stamp duty coming into force shortly, with a high volume of applications. I'm glad we were able to assist when you contacted us.
