We were first time buyers and got our mortgage the DBS and they sent everything across and all communication was clear and really helpful to us as first time buyers. Plus the product fee wasn’t as ridiculous as some of those bigger banks! Reviewed on: 7th April 2025

Darlington Building Society were one of the very few companies offering mortgages to the over 65 age group when we got our mortgage from them 9 year’s ago. They have looked after us well since then and will stay with them until mortgage free in a few years time. Customer service personnel are so helpful. Reviewed on: 17th April 2025
