Halifax Mortgage

4
Overall I found the process of taking out a mortgage with Halifax easy and reasonably stress free. Any queries I had throughout the process were dealt with quickly and professionally. I felt that I was kept informed during each step and any terms I did not fully understand were politely explained. Reviewed on: 30th August 2016

Quick and easy renewal of a 2 year fix!

I could not believe how easy it was to renew our 2 yr fixed rate deal. It was all done online and took less than 5 minutes. I have no issues recommending Halifax whatsoever Reviewed on: 30th August 2016

Concerned with a personal loan

Wanted to find some information about the shared equity loan we hold on our house, extremely worried about what to do... assistant went through all options, reassured and changed our mortgage to a better monthly repayment. Very helpful unbiased view. Great service. Reviewed on: 30th June 2016

Always helpful and fair

We got into some difficulties when my husband lost his job and were struggling to make our repayments. We contacted the Halifax who were lovely and arranged a loan to pay off the arrears and affordable smaller payments until we were back on our feet. They stopped sending out letters and phone calls and were very accommodating and understanding and in a situation like that, that's what you need. Reviewed on: 17th May 2016

Great easy experience buying our first home.

Really helpful mortgage advisor who went out of her way to find us a convenient appointment, went through everything clearly and then called us straight away when there was a slight problem, which wasn't one at all. All the paperwork was done and sent through to us well before we were ready to exchange and after so many horror stories, our mortgage was the least stressful part of buying our first home Reviewed on: 14th May 2016

Fab customer service - honest, reliable and straightforward

We wanted to look at whether or not we could save money by switching out mortgage to a fixed deal. I was in branch anyway to sort out a savings account for my baby, so asked the question. The member of staff was very helpful and told me I could look over the costings etc online which would save me and my partner coming into branch for a meeting of up to two hours. I did this when I got home, and had my new mortgage set up in next to no time in just a few clicks. Reviewed on: 19th February 2016

Staff provide excellent customer service.

Everything was made so straightforward. When trying to book the initial appointment, they couldn't find us a weekend appointment for 4 weeks and we wanted to move in 8. We explained this and the cashier could not do enough for us. She looked up 6 different branches availability and spoke to two asking them to switch their appointments round to fit me in. She promised she'd call me back the next day, and sure enough she did, letting me know that she was still trying to find an appointment. Three days later she called offering us a cancelled appointment that was the next weekend. Once at the appointment, everything went smoothly, the different options were presented clearly and we didn't need to speak to them again or chase up- documents confirming the mortgage offer were sent through before the solicitors were ready, meaning there was delay. On the day of completion, the money went through smoothly and the next day a lovely welcome parcel arrived from Halifax- such a lovely gesture with a company I was already very happy with. Overall, I have never had such friendly, helpful service from an institution and would highly recommend Halifax to my family. Reviewed on: 19th February 2016

Already recommended to others!

I have had a great experience with Halifax for many years as a banking customer, though last year I took out a mortgage, and Halifax were so helpful from the beginning to moving into our new home. They cover all the little details such as posting a "new home" pack with little treats and a mini DIY kit. It was just so lovely seeing our name on a parcel at our new house! We were also able to take advantage of a cash back offer for first time buyers which came in so useful. I've already recommended halifax to others who are currently looking for a mortgage.
