Darlington asking for the Inns and Outs of a fart

3
When my wife and I applied for a mortgage via a mortgage broker, Darlington took a long time to make a descision to lend. They were quibbling over a £50 catalogue account that they wanted to be cleared before they would lend. ( Andwe have a joint income of over £100k) We had to remortgage with Darlington a second time , only because our solcitor forgot to register our New Build House in our names by the time the 2 year fixed rate expired. We could not use the whole market at the time becasue of that. Otherwise we would have got a much cheaper rate elsewhere. Reviewed on: 9th April 2025

Okay service

The online site and correspondence has been fine but I do think the rate I pay is a bit high but I agreed it so it is what it is. Hopefully I will get a more competitive rate on renewal. Reviewed on: 9th April 2025
