Not thorough, waste of my time I waited 3+ weeks for my application to process, with them gathering info piece by tiny piece, only to be told that they couldn't ever have processed ... Read more Reviewed on: 4th February 2026

Great customer service

Ann has been lovely throughout the mortgage application process. She is very friendly, approachable, supportive and understanding. She makes the process easy and as stress free as possible. She is a invaluable asset to Darlington Building Society. Reviewed on: 7th December 2023

Great service and sad to leave

5
Throughout our 3 years mortgage with DBS we have received nothing but the highest quality service. Unfortunately due to the cost of living crisis we have had to shop around for the best rates which is taking us away to another provider. However, we will be looking at DBS mortgage rates in the future and if they are competitive, we will certainly look to return. The service has been impeccable. Thanks for everything!

Darlington Building Society Branch Review

Very approachable, take the time to explain everything and always very happy to answer questions. The online minor fault I've had is an issue with online applications/forms but not a big issue at all. Reviewed on: 28th November 2023

Darlington Building Society Branch Review

Poor. Numerous attempts to renew mortgage deal by phone. Calls not returned, appointment not met. Wrong documentation emailed. Normally deal personally with branch which is much better service that telephone service. 3 months to get served. Reviewed on: 28th November 2023

My mortgage application went via Paula and she was always very positive, informative and efficient. The other girls I spoke to too on the phone were also. All in all an excellent service Reviewed on: 27th November 2023
