Friendly, helpful Building Society

5
They are a friendly branch at Northallerton and happy to answer any question regardless how big or small it is. I wanted to come into a branch to arrange renew my mortage as I was not looking forward to speaking over the phone, but the lady I spoke to, explained everything brilliently and in languiage that was simple and easy to understand. I didn't have to take time off work to come into the branch, which was even better. I also have a savings account with the Darlington Building Society where I have managed to save up to make improvements around my house. Reviewed on: 8th April 2025

Best Mortgage Option if you work Overseas

As someone who works overseas Dartington was one of the few lenders who would offer me a mortgage despite an excellent credit rating. We live in a globalized world Dartington appreciates that reality. Reviewed on: 8th April 2025

We were introduced to Darlington via a mortgage broker. I have called them a couple of times querying things such as early settlement or the option to remortgage both times have received really good friendly service. If we do move or wish to borrow more would certainly go to Darlington first Reviewed on: 8th April 2025
