Five year fixed rate mortgage renewal

5
I rang Darlington and spoke to Rebbecca Russell with regards to a further fixed rate mortgage. I had been approached by magpie money who wanted to arrange this for me only to be told that they would expect me to pay a fee of £499 for the privilege. I spoke to Rebecca in the hope that she could arrange this but without the me having to pay a fee. She arranged and the fixed rate was even cheaper. She arranged this and was extremely helpful and pleasant. I am extremely happy with the service provided by Rebecca. Reviewed on: 7th January 2024
