Review of the Darlington Building Society, Mortgages:

We were recommended Darlington building society,

We were recommended Darlington building society, I can’t remember who. We were surprised that the whole procedure was manual but being older we was perfectly happy with the process, it was in-depth and thorough. We found the interest rate to be competitive. We would recommend to other people. Reviewed on: 16th April 2025

Excellent customer service

Darlington provided us with an interest only mortgage despite being relatively advanced in years! The process was straightforward and they have kept us informed throughout the whole process and since the granting of the mortgage. Reviewed on: 15th April 2025

Supporting the older lender - thanks Darlington

Darlington were one of the few mortgage lenders who would offer us a mortgage due to our ages. They recognised we had excellent credit ratings and supported our aspiration to own a home again. Reviewed on: 15th April 2025

Darlington have provided me with a self build mortgage in partnership with BuildLoan. They have been very supportive and good communicators throughout the process, alongside being quick to coordinate stage payments which has been critical in enabling the build process to run smoothly.

Gave a mortgage to pensioner!

Gave a mortgage to me as a retired person which I was unable to get from other banks. Fantastic as enabled to buy my own house for the first time in 20 years! Also got a great deal at a reasonable rate. Reviewed on: 12th April 2025

Reliable good service

The mortgage provided by the Darlington Building Society has been ideal for my needs and when it came up for review I was able to repay some of the capital and get a reasonable rate at a very challenging time. The only downside was several sources of information giving slightly different advice bt that was resolved by speaking to someone. Reviewed on: 12th April 2025

Interest rate reductions not sufficient

Despite the interest rate cuts by the bank of England the rate the reduction of our mortgage, which is on a variable rate, has been negilgible. Customer service has been good with prompt replies to inqueries. Reviewed on: 11th April 2025

Made our dream home ownership possible!

We’re incredibly grateful to the bank for providing us with a loan to help cover the down payment on our first home. Their support made it possible for us to take this important step, and we truly appreciate their assistance throughout the process. Reviewed on: 10th April 2025
