We are about to come to the end of our 25 year mortgage. Some years ago we came into financial difficulty and all the worry that brings. The meetings and discussions we had made life so much easier, the staff were brilliant. They did not judge and just helped us decide what was best for us. Here we are a couple of payments to go and we still have our house. Reviewed on: 16th April 2025

My experience with Darlington was exceptional, especially during an incredibly challenging period in my life. The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant cash flow issues for me, which were further compounded by ill health. Despite these difficulties, Darlington provided unwavering support and understanding until I was able to reenter employment. Their customer service team was outstanding—compassionate, professional, and always willing to assist. I am truly grateful for their patience and dedication during such a tough time. Darlington went above and beyond to help, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Darlington (especially Brian), for your exceptional service and support when I needed it most.

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
