Just totally different, and understand the value of Customer Service

I have my mortgage with Bath Building Society, and the difference in dealing with my large high street bank and them is just miles apart. What a pleasure to receive old fashion amazing service, and actually speak to a real person who genuinely cares. The experience of dealing with the team is fabulous, I am just totally surprised every time I speak with a member of the Team, the level of professionalism is awesome, can't say how much other financial institutions could learn from this Building Society. I'm not easily impressed, but the icing on the cake was when I received a 'Welcome to your new home' hamper full of delights from Bath, just brilliant. The people who are responsible for creating this kind of magic in this day an age need to be congratulated for going above and beyond! Reviewed on: 1st June 2021

Smooth from start to finish.

Our whole experience has been positive from start to finish. We understood clearly at every stage the various options available to us. We were kept fully in the picture throughout the process and despite the disruption of the covid 19 pandemic we were able to complete according to plan. Our principle contacts at BIBS, Kim Carter and Ian Birch, were friendly and helpful and all our queries were answered promptly and efficiently. Reviewed on: 1st May 2021

Real personal approach - unique

Our experience was seamless from start to finish. I contacted the Society and was pleasantly surprised to be out straight through to Tim Randall who showed immediately how different the experience was going to be compared to call centres etc. Let me be very clear, in a digital age Tim’s hands on approach made the difference, his communication was quick and he understood us really well, you don’t get that from some of the bigger societies or banks, let’s face it you are just a number with them; but certainly not with Tim and his Team at Bath BS. I cannot recommend Tim and the society more, in fact I already have. Personal, Professional and Pro-Active. Thank-you again Tim. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Superb from start to finish

Tim Randall, our mortgage consultant, was excellent throughout the whole process, despite the limitations presented by the lockdown. He provided comprehensive information, answered all our questions, and eased our unjustified concerns. The whole experience from start to finish was first rate - easy, swift and provided just what we needed. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Excellent Service in Difficult Times

With our interest only mortgage due to end on 28th of February 2021, we wrote to the Bath Building Society in December 2020 enquiring about a Retirement, Interest Only mortgage (RIO). We received excellent help and advice from Tim Randall. He recommended we contact our current lender to request an extension as the Covid 19 pandemic was causing lengthy delays due to the majority of office based staff working from home. This we did, then with Tim's help and guidance we applied for the mortgage. The paperwork was received by the Bath on 5th January and we completed on 25th February. Tim was always available by email and occasionally by phone. His response was often by return and never more that 24 hours. In the past 50 years we have had a number of mortgages/remortgages but have never received such excellent service, under the most difficult of circumstances. We cannot praise the Bath Building Society highly enough and single out Tim Randall who went above and beyond for special mention. Reviewed on: 9th March 2021

Mislead during Mortgage process

An exceptionally poor experience, in April we were given what we felt clear in principle agreement to our mortgage, which we spent 4 months working to meet only for the society to change their approval right at the very last minute, this cost £2000 I In costs that we have wasted- we are so frustrated at the society...
