Review of the Halifax, Fixed Rate Mortgage:

HAYLEY VELLAM IS AN EXCELLENT MORTGAGE ADVISOR

My mortgage advisor Hayley Vellam was excellent. She is truly an asset to Halifax. I went through a mortgage broken first and had a terrible experience. Decided to go straight to halifax and Hayley was so professional, kind and informative. Getting a mortgage can be a scary process but i'm so pleased I had Hayley guiding me through it. Thank you so much Hayley Vellam! Reviewed on: 21st December 2024

Great Deals for Home Owners

A quick and easy transition from our current fixed mortgage to a new 5 year deal Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Great

Never had any problems with my Halifax mortgage. Process was quick and easy and the mortgage was set up in no time! I would definitely recommend to other first time buyers. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2018

Solid product for first time mortgage, couldn't match remortgage rate

Halifax gave me my first mortgage on my property at a reasonable rate. We went through a broker which smoothed the process, but as I was (lucky enough to be) gifted some funds from my parents we had an extra layer of scrutiny to prove where the money was coming from and to confirm that it wouldn't need to be paid back. This was all sorted and the product has been fine with regular payments taken correctly, with an easy process to set the payment date. I would have been happy to stay with Halifax when my initial rate ended, but they couldn't get close enough to the leading rate we were offered elsewhere. In summary, Halifax seem to be well suited for first-time buyers, but perhaps are not competitive enough once you've built up some equity. Reviewed on: 24th November 2017

Fantastic customer service!

As first time buyers, we were so nervous about getting ripped off on our first mortgage. We'd explored other options but eventually decided to go with Halifax, as we both held current and savings accounts with them already. From day 1, the process was so smooth. We met our Mortgage Advisor and immediately felt at ease. There were no pushy sales tactics and we really felt like she was on our side and trying to get the best deal for us. Half way through we changed the property we were buying and the change was effortless for her. She helped us through every stage until she left to go on maternity and even then we still had the best service from Halifax. We'd originally gone for the £400 cashback but right before we were due to complete, we'd seen the £1,000 cashback deal for new owners. As we were already completing, we were worried we wouldn't be eligible but after we expressed our concerns, they honoured it and gave us an extra £600 cashback, which helped us pay our solicitors bill in full. The best part, though? Receiving a lovely little tote bag full of new home goodies, including teabags, shortbread biscuits and more. Thank you so much for making our first home purchase a breeze!

Great Mortgage Provider

Been with Halifaxfor just under 7 years now and every time my fixed rate mortgage is coming to an end, the staff are always happy to advise and always manage to come up with a cheaper product for me. Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

A simple and cheap product which is easy to manage

Love my experience with Halifax around our mortgage. It’s been so simple to manage since we got it over 2 years ago. I can make overpayments on the banking app for any amount which is simple to use. I’ve also recently switched to a cheaper deal saving me money on the Halifax website in about 10 minutes. I really feel valued by Halifax and like they care about setting up their customers in the right way! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Fair when renewing my mortgage

I have had 3 fixed-rate mortgages now, with the Halifax, each time when re-fixing I researched and each time the Halifax has come up with competitive rates, offers and terms. It has been painless, simple and quick to re-fix. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Great customer service

Great customer service and excellent interest rates on fixed rate mortgages Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

Good but not always consistent

I have been with Halifax for over 20 years and generally I'm very pleased but lately they seem overworked and too busy to follow things up. I had to phone 3 times to get some documents sent by post. They need to sharpen up! Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Easy to set up

We applied for a mortgage last year and had very choices as my husband had been resident in the UK for less than 2 years. Halifax was one of the few banks that were open to us and were able to obtain the mortgage and buy our first home with a 5% downpayment, they also had a 2,000 cashback offer at the time which was great to pay the fees. We're very happy to be on the property ladder and have had a good experience getting our mortgage with Halifax. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017
