We took out our first mortgage with Halifax and its been easy to manage. I love the HelloHome feature on the app that allows us to look at out estimated equity and track an overview of how much we owe each month. Reviewed on: 18th March 2024

I managed to get a low interest rate with Halifax Reviewed on: 16th February 2024

Overpaying on a mortgage is pointless

1
2 years into my 5 year fixed rate mortgage I receive a letter to say my monthly mortgage payment would decrease by £200. I didn't want to decrease how much I pay as it is already low. Halifax say it is because I made an authorised overpayment, which means the amount I pay monthly would need to be decreased in order for me to keep paying until I reach the end of the term of my mortgage (18 years). It makes no sense whatsoever. What is the point in giving customers the option to o... Reviewed on: 12th January 2024

Changing contract in middle of fix term

1
Halifax decided to change the amount that is able to be paid 3 years in to a 5 year fixed term. There has been no notification of change and no acceptance of a change in contract. They said clearly on the call that they are only trying to get their grubby hands on more money from the account. Dispicable behaviour. Reviewed on: 13th October 2023

Extremely untrustworthy

1
Do not even apply for a mortgage with these extremely unprofessional individuals. Initially I was told that they would lend me £125,000 for the mortgage and gave an AIP. Next they said they'd only loan me £99,000 because I spent £3000 to book a holiday on my credit card (which is what sound minded people do for insurance). Next day they told me that they could loan me somewhere between £119,000 and £135,000 with the full and same details i gave them again. Two days later, after ... Reviewed on: 14th September 2023

Really poor customer service

It is incredible how bad their customer service is. They are literally useless. Everything has to go through a broker, the person on the phone was completely unable to assist with even the most basic questions. Reviewed on: 1st September 2023
