Bath Building Society Mortgages reviews (332)

Building height restriction is too strict for 2022

The online chat was great and helped me get a quick answer to my question but the reason I wouldn’t be able to recommend Bath Building Society to friends and Family is due to the strict building height rules for lending criteria. They do not lend on buildings over 6 storeys high which in today’s economy especially for borrowers in London; is extremely unhelpful as most London new builds are well over 10 floors. Other than that, I thought they would have been a great lender option so it’s such a shame! Reviewed on: 31st October 2022

I always welcome this type of feedback as we do try to help as many people as we can get onto the property ladder. We don't lend on all types of properties but it's something we may revisit at some stage. Ben Hutchings, Head of Mortgage Sales Response date: 1st November 2022

Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you for giving us the opportunity to purchase our first ever home. With a not so perfect credit rating I am so thankful you gave us the chance to become homeowners when others said no. Your customer service is excellent and you always provided updates to my broker on our case which made the whole process less stressful. Thank you Bath BS!! Reviewed on: 24th October 2022

Brilliant service! Highly recommend!

Ian and the team at BBS were amazing. Ian was super helpful, knowledgeable, kind and considerate. He made the application process so easy and was available if I had any issues. The admin team were quick and thorough. These guys honestly have such amazing mortgage service, it way exceeds most of the larger high street mortgage lenders. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Professional and personal, first class in all aspects.

A refreshing change to be a customer of an organisation that clearly see its members as individuals. How nice to be able to talk to somebody on the phone without having to go through countless menu options. Queries always dealt with promptly and with clarity. I would highly recommend.
