As a customer I found they supported me and made the process very easy, I wasn't too happy with their free legals but this is not down to them so overall I was fairly satisfied. Reviewed on: 13th December 2019

Best Mortgage Ever

Mortgage rate of 0.49% above the base rate, never been able to beat this for the last 15 years. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Underwriting process is terrible when they have to pay to broker

1
I wouldn't suggest any one to go with this bank for first time buyers. You will found yourself in a hell and on the top if you applied through broker, these people will put you in a terrible situation where you will be ending up with nothing but just losing credit history and time. So i will suggest you not to use this bank especially if you are a first time buyer. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Santander Remortgage - Appalling

1
Started our mortgage review on 29 March 18 and the amounts and decisions keep changing from the mortgage advisor to the underwriting, had to change from repayment to interest only back and forth each stage takes 5 days, it is now 2 May 19 and still do not have a decision. With all the technology available and after several 40 minutes telephone calls, that the next steps takes over 10 days. The next chase up call I have been advised that due to Easter they are running 2 days late so 7 working days then next stage., Reviewed on: 2nd May 2019
