Darlington Building Society is our mortgage provider.

Darlington Building Society is our mortgage provider. And honestly, I don't know what we would have without them. They provided us with the mortgage we needed to buy our bungalow, which gave us a roof over heads! They have looked after since, with renewal quotes at excellent interest rates! We would highly recommend Darlington Building Society for customer service, product availability, knowledgeable staff and being there for us! Thank you Darlington Reviewed on: 9th April 2025

Darlington asking for the Inns and Outs of a fart

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

Very happy with the product I have and efficient service received. 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

Exceptionally friendly and proactive

I find the staff at Darlington exceptionally friendly and proactive. The are willing to help and show enthusiasm for their jobs. A rare commodity in today's world. I only use phone and online banking services. Reviewed on: 9th April 2025
