  • Bath Building Society offers competitive savings rates that many find attractive. (10 mentions)
  • Having local branches with face-to-face service is a big plus for Bath Building Society. (8 mentions)

Negative themes

I came in to branch regarding a query about mine and my wife’s accounts. Whilst Daisy did not have an answer for me straight away she assured me she would find out the answer and get back to me. She then phoned me back the same day and resolved the issue. Daisy provided excellent customer service and handled the situation brilliantly. Read more Read less

We had a very unique set of circumstances that required a specialised mortgage. Tim took the time to truly listen and understand our situation from the start, unlike other lenders where you feel like just a number. Due to his professional knowledge he found the perfect solution for us where others might have struggled. His professional and caring approach made a stressful process so much easier.

It is clear that BBS are a very professional firm, but the rating given reflects the excellent personal service that we received.

It was so refreshing to deal with an actual human being and one name that I could return to to ask questions as needed. It makes all the difference having one person and not just a general faceless mailbox where emails disappear, replied to days later. The process was straightforward, clear, and prompt. Even when I wanted to amend the mortgage amount, this was acted on within 2 days and resolved. Offer received quickly. Very impressed - an enjoyable experience even! Read more Read less

The ONLY building society offering the package needed (rent a room), and we didn't want to go with a bank. Tim Randall made the whole application and approval process so easy with friendly, clear and prompt communications throughout- a real credit to your society. When an issue with the property lease was uncovered by our solicitor , Tim was instrumental in quickly agreeing an effective solution. That's what stood out- a willingness to find solutions based on sound experience and knowldge. Read more Read less
