I needed Darlington Building Society's help at a very sensitive time. I was going through a divorce which is incredibly stressful and navigating the mortgage process during such a difficult time can feel very overwhelming. My mortgage advisor, Ann, went above and beyond in every way possible. She was not only highly professional, but also showed empathy and understanding. Many mortgage providers say that they consider your circumstances on a case-by-case basis, but Ann truly did. She took the time to treat me as an individual and to take the time to understand my unique circumstances and offered guidance tailor specifically to my needs. She made herself available to me with a big time change (did I mention I live abroad - an extra complication) and with further complications (salary in a different currency, losing the salary and support of my spouse). She consistently followed up and helped keep everything on track. She did a wonderful job of explaining what the next steps were, this was very helpful at a time when the next steps felt so uncertain. If you're looking for someone who not only knows their stuff but also treats you with respect and kindness, Ann is the mortgage advisor you need. She made a daunting process feel smooth and manageable, and I am beyond grateful for her support during this difficult chapter in my life. Reviewed on: 24th March 2025

Dealing with Darlintgton is a much more personal experience than others. We have been with them for nearly 8 years and have found all the staff friendly, helpful and more importantly available to answer questions and assist without massive queues. Reviewed on: 24th March 2025

A huge thank you.

5
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
