Review of the Darlington Building Society, Mortgages:

A huge thank you.

Throughout a grueling two year and four month selling and buying process (due to the current extremely difficult housing market) Paula M has provided exemplary customer service. Five gold stars? No, five platinum stars! Not quite there yet but fingers crossed for an exchange of contracts on 7th April. A huge thank you to a superb Building Society Reviewed on: 21st March 2025

Mortgage Adviser (Paula) answered all of my questions.

Mortgage Adviser (Paula) answered all of my questions and provided extra and relevant information. After speaking with her, I feel confident regarding moving to a new property should I decide to do so. A follow-up email was received confirming the information gained during our earlier phone conversation. Reviewed on: 28th October 2025

Great customer service

Customer service was outstanding when obtaining original mortgage and then moving to a new property. Very quick responses and friendly people. Cheryl in particular was amazing! Reviewed on: 23rd October 2025

Thank you, Paula, for your excellent support

My wife and I have recently had the pleasure of dealing with Paula Marshall regarding our BTL mortgage application, and I could not be more pleased or impressed with the outstanding service we received. Paula has demonstrated high levels of professionalism, coupled with a very much appreciated personal attentiveness. She has been incredibly responsive, efficient, and helpful throughout the process. Paula's communication has been clear and prompt; she has taken the time to clarify any questions I have posed in what has been a new experience for us and has kept us informed at every stage, ensuring everything progressed smoothly. It has been reassuring to know our application was in capable hands. Paula’s approachable manner and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful process much easier. This level of one-to-one personal attention is unusual in this 'virtual age' but it is very much welcomed. Thank you, Paula, for your excellent support and customer care — a true credit to Darlington Building Society! Reviewed on: 22nd October 2025

We was a bit unsure whether to apply for additional funds for home improvements or just sell up and move after initially applying for additional funds we changed our minds .Paula Marshall was absolutely brilliant with us she was very understanding and very patient and not at all bothered by our indecision even though we had clearly wasted her time.
