We are absolutely delighted with your service and also the service provided by your underwriting colleagues. One comment I would make would be that the online mortgage system isn’t as intuitive as it perhaps could be and this may need to be reviewed to make it more user-friendly for non-mortgage intermediaries. Having said that whenever we’ve had a problem with the system, Tim fixed it in a jiffy so no complaints whatsoever only compliments. Furthermore, we will direct our family members to you as your products are very competitive and you provide great customer service. i’ve been thoroughly impressed from start to finish with the service provided by Tim directly by email over a long period of time where he was very helpful in guiding us as I hadn’t had a mortgage for almost 20 years and was not familiar with all of the new processes and rules. He never hesitated to provide his very best advice and to be honest no other bank or building society I approached even came close to the professional friendly service I received from Tim consistently over the course of many months whilst we were looking for a property.

The whole process of getting remortgaged has changed considerably since I last did it. Not being technically minded I had to ask for assistance. The staff at the Bath building society were extremely helpful through each step of the process. They were also very quick to answer my questions and keep me up to date with what was happening. I’m pleased to say my application had a positive outcome. Read more Read less

THE MOST EMBARRASSING FINANCIAL INSTITUTION EVER KNOWN. THEIR COMPLAINT PROCEDURE IS COMPLETELY FAKE, THEY JUST MAKE UP REASONS WHICH ARE ABSOLUTELY FAKE. AFTER BEING FOR WEEKS COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT WITH THEM, YOU REALISE THAT THEY ARE JUST MISLEADING, NOT TRANSPARENT AND MISREPRESENTATIVE. THE EMPLOYEE IS THE MOST INCOMPETENT PERSON THAT YOU CAN EVER MEET. THEY HAVE HUGE LACKS OF INTERNAL COMMUNICATION. IT IS EMBARRASSING FOR THE WHOLE FINANCIAL SYSTEM AS PEOPLE LIKE THEM CAN OPERATE AND HAVE AN FCA LICENSE. I AM INVOLVING MY LAWYER BECAUSE THIS STORY IS NOT GOING TO END HERE. AFTEE YEARS OF SACRIFICES AND HARD WORK, THESE BUNCH OF LOW LIVES PROFESSIONALS CANNOT RUIN EVERYTHING. JUSTICE WILL COME Read more Read less

He steered me through the whole process with professionalism, excellent product knowledge, a brillant sense of humour and patience ( which he needed to deal with me and my questions & attention to detail). As a new customer, I felt valued and safe in my chosen product. He answered my questions honestly and on the very odd occassion that he wasn't able to answer my question immediately, made a point of finding the answer and getting back to me with a full explanation.
