Darlington have always been a delight. They're knowledgable about mortgages and helped to find me a deal that worked with my very specific/niche requirements. While they weren't the best value, they did provide me with reassurances that they would support my needs and my requirements and help to make life easier. Reviewed on: 7th April 2025

We have been with the Darlington for 22 years and each time our deal was coming to the end, their advisor was brilliant, talking us through all options and finding the best one for us, and even saved us money and reduced the length of our mortgage. Would and have highly recommended the company. Reviewed on: 7th April 2025
