'A Griffin Savings like' mortgage lender

2
I am a mortgage admin and I have had a case in since 14th June- the service is slow, the portal has requirements from 2 other banks that are unrelated to the case and apart from James Green, the helplines have been terrible and seem to not want to help The case is agreed subject to val - val report is fine however it has taken over 15 days to get picked up. For document requirements to be reviewed it takes 12+ working days even if it is only a reply to an enquiry. Overall if you need an offer in 2 months- this is not the place. A shame Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Genuinely - the worst

1
Where to start, deal with this half baked, wholly incompetent, bone-idle company at your peril. A simple re-mortgage, of a BTL property with LTV of 60%, proven equity, a two-year AST lease with stable income and two owners with stable jobs an demonstrable incomes has taken 5 months to complete. Why? Because Dudley have shown incompetence to another level, leaving us stuck paying a sky-high SVR on our existing product for 3 months. At each step, they have failed to understand, asked for extra information, misplaced and lost documents, asked the same question multiple times, failed to update us on case progress and shown all round incompetence of which I have never encountered before. I can go into so much more detail, and have to the Ombudsman and my local MP, but am limited to a word count on this box. Long story short - avoid, avoid, avoid. Worth paying a higher rate and fixing with another provider. Reviewed on: 20th July 2023

Treating Customers fairly??!!

Appalling treatment of existing customer who has been trying to switch her mortgage onto a new repayment method nearly 2 months ago, Poor communication from the lender and still no indication of how long this will take? in the meantime the customer is being putting in a negative financial situation.
