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

Reply from Bath Building Society Hi Steven, Thank you for your review, I'm pleased to read that we've been able to support you as a longstanding customer! Kyle Greck, Head of Mortgage Sales Response date: 25th April 2025

Great service, flexible underwriting

I have been Bath Building Society customer for many years. They have helped me to get on the property ladder when everyone else has failed. Great company, great staff! Reviewed on: 9th March 2022

Highly Recommend

Very friendly, understanding of what we needed at the beginning of our Mortgage explaining everything in a concise and professional way. They are proactive and have consistently stayed in touch making us aware of any improved and competitive rates they can offer as our fixed or discounted rates have come to an end. Their rates might not be the absolute best on the market but we have chosen to stay with The Bath Building Society because of their excellent service. Reviewed on: 8th March 2022

Wonderful, true customer service.

I have been a customer of the Society for more than 60 years. I have been a saver and a borrower from them. Their customer care and service is of the highest standard.......their cashiers shopping for infirm customers during the pandemic and delivering that essential goods to the clients door on their way home.. long may they continue to prosper and offer their unique caring service for many years to come. Excellent, from the Directors to the CEO right across the board to the newest trainee. Reviewed on: 8th March 2022

Outstanding Customer Service, Traditional Values & Integrity

I have been a borrower now for some 21 years. The Society have helped me in every step of my home ownership-Their values are traditional and they havethe utmost intregrity, you can rely on them, they are genuinely people who care about their clients. Cant recommend enough! Reviewed on: 8th March 2022

Computer says no

Will advise you a mortgage port is possible, however when it comes down to the move they will find any reason they can to decline your application (last minute), so they receive their early repayment charge + admin fee Reviewed on: 5th March 2022

Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for your feedback which you have shared with us before. For clarity, we do not use computers or credit scoring to make lending decisions. We rely solely on a team of professional underwriters. As a Building Society we always want to find ways to lend but we do have a duty to protect our members from credit risk and this means that we simply cannot lend to everyone. We do not make such decisions to maximise fee income and have recently reviewed, reduced and simplified our fees. We believe them to be fair and transparent and that for both Savings and Mortgages they compare favourably with our competitors. Lastly, when it comes to the speed of our underwriting or making lending decisions this is something that we know we can improve and are trying to do so. Colin McDougall, Chief Commercial Officer. Response date: 7th March 2022

Like family

We used BIBS for 3 mortgages in Bath over the years and they were the only one who listened and went the extra mile. For our very first mortgage They looked at our figures in a more humane way rather than punching numbers in to a machine and ‘the computer says no’. They organised our first mortgage and we’re very competitive thanks BIBS. Highly recommend them Reviewed on: 26th February 2022

Award winning customer service

Bath made sure our mortgage process was as smooth as possible during the pandemic. We are forever grateful that they made it happen for us. Customer service was perfect from start to finish. Reviewed on: 25th February 2022
