This is a Bank with a Building Society heart.

5
This is a Bank with a Building Society heart. My own bank of over 40 years considered me too old for a remortgage. Darlington could see my potential as a good customer and provided me with a fixed remortgage deal, at the end of which offered me another suitable fixed deal. The remortgage supported my plan for moving to my forever home. Reviewed on: 7th April 2025
