Review of the Buckinghamshire Building Society, Mortgages:

Complex Case Offered!

4
I have just had a very complex case offered by Buckinghamshire. I hadn't used them up to this point as a broker but due to a few bits of criteria I found that Buckinghamshire would lend subject to application. I initially spoke to Natalie about the case who was very helpful and then this moved onto Paige who was equally as helpful, both getting back to me very quickly when I had initial questions. The case was then underwritten by Stacey who carried on the excellent service as given by Natalie and Paige. May have been 5 stars but did take slightly longer than I anticipated to be approved with lots of information and documents needed which I understand and appreciate with complex cases however I think this was out of the hands of the individuals I have mentioned who I stress again were all great!

Helped my client remortgage when other lenders wouldn't...

5
My client had a few recent credit blips and two other lenders wouldn't consider her. After our D.I.P application, the lovely Paige at Buckinghamshire BS helped us find a way forward to help the client and get the application submitted. Buckinghamshire BS very much have a human approach to mortgages, rather than the usual tick box and computer says no attitude of the majority of lenders out there. Definitely try Bucks BS if you haven't already, or if you struggled with other lenders recently with a client and are about to give up. Thanks again Paige and speak again soon!

Thank you Julie Hanlf

Julie was our regions business development manager and even though she covers another area now she is still on the end of the phone whenever I've needed help. She has helped me with complex cases and always with a smile. She is a great BDM and a great representative for Bucks. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Brokers choice for common sense lending

5
I have had the pleasure of working with BBS on a couple of occasions when , as broker, the case didn't fit standard criteria but made common sense lending. My BDM Paul Johnson took the time to meet with me and discuss the case over breakfast ( which he sprung for, thanks PJ!) and said he thought this was a case for them and to leave it with him. He came back in short order and said yep they will do it. It was a little tricky during underwriting but Louise Bellis who was underwriting the case liaised with us and together we worked the issues and next week we expect the offer out. Listen - this wasn't a standard case so don't moan if it takes a little longer than usual and explain to your clients why and (providing everyone keeps talking) things come out favorably for all but this isn't the first time I have used BBS and it wont be the last. Well played to PJ, Louise and all involved in making stuff happen at the BBS. Carry on . Malcolm Clarke, Simpson FS, Royal Leamington Spa, Feb 2023 Reviewed on: 22nd February 2023
