Review of the Bath Building Society, Mortgages:

BBS were great for our guest house mortgage

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

Tom was very helpful

I was looking to find out more about a rather niche product, but Tom was very quick, professional, and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend him. Reviewed on: 16th September 2022

Excellent on live chat, not good at returning calls

Having used Bath for the first time, they could do with making their system more user friendly. Reviewed on: 16th September 2022

Communication

Communication is not very great, however when through to chat with someone they were helpful. They didn't have my email address on the system to request additional documents from me, despite communicated via email while initiating the process of mortgage application. so clear gap in departments.

Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for your feedback, we do appreciate this. We are always looking to improve our service and clearly we didn't meet our normal standards this time. I will forward this on so that we can look into. Ben Hutchings, Head of Mortgage Sales Response date: 20th September 2022

Got there in the end

Very slow, took 6 months to agree a simple mortgage, seemingly very picky and to some extent box ticking. On the plus side, terms were favourable and the service was more personal than other mortgage lenders. We used a broker but in hindsight I think dealing direct would have been much better, also note BBS will only deal with solicitors not a conveyancing company, broker should have (but didn't) advised this. Reviewed on: 17th August 2022

Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for the feedback Mr. Pickett. Unfortunately, I am unable to discuss the mortgage application without the applicant's consent, however I can assure you that the Society is taking every possible to step to minimise any further delays. In regard to the Society’s criteria for Solicitors, the broker who submitted the application would have been informed of the Society's requirements at the outset and should have relayed this. I can confirm that we will prioritise this application once any outstanding information is received. Nicola Rees, Head of Mortgage Operations Response date: 17th August 2022

Great service!

Although I wasn't able to get all of the answers I required immediately, Oliver had no hesitation in providing me with details to contact him via email where he would be able to help me further with my query.
