I have been with Darlington since buying my house four and a half years ago. The people I have dealt with have been friendly, efficient and have handled my initial mortgage, plus refinances very well. Reviewed on: 16th April 2025

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

Rates are not that competitive.

Rates are not that competitive. I asked about reducing mortgage term but they wanted £70 to do this which I didn't think was fair value. Reviewed on: 16th April 2025
