I have had to arrange a few changes to my mortgage due to changes in circumstances. It is always easy to speak to someone who can help with my queries and all the people I've dealt with have been excellent. Rebecca in particular has taken a lot of the stress out of the process with quick and accurate information. Would definitely recommend Darlington. Reviewed on: 27th October 2023

Beverley, three years ago in the past and Cheryl and Rebecca this month have gone out of their way to be helpful which has been appreciated and they have been told so in writing over e-mails. Superb girls. Reviewed on: 26th October 2023

Amazing mortgage experience

5
Myself and my partner was assigned Rebecca Russell as our mortgage advisor at Darlington Building Society. We are first time buyers, and initially had concerns over potentially not getting accepted for a mortgage due to my partners credit history and default payments. Rebecca listened to our concerns, was patient and provided the best advice considering our circumstances. She took our word for face value, and guided us through each part of the mortgage process. I could not recommend Rebecca enough, especially to anyone that is in a similar position to us. She is great at her job - we did not feel like we were being judged at all, she is extremely professional. Because of our experience with Rebecca, I would recommend Darlington Building Society to anyone. Reviewed on: 24th October 2023
