Excellent customer service

Setting up our mortgage with Halifax was hassle-free and we were guided through the process by such helpful advisors. We have even been entered into an ongoing monthly giveaway to have your mortgage paid off just for setting up the account! Reviewed on: 12th January 2023

They Lost my ID and didn't admit it until we followed up

In the stages of verifying my identity, they lost my ID and didn't admit it until we followed up several times. They did offer compensation, but it wasn't even close to being enough to compensate for the time it took us to fix their mistake. This caused us a month delay and put us in a worse negociating position with the sellers of the house. Reviewed on: 21st July 2022

We found our dream house (much below the threshold set by Halifax), had hours of discussions with Halifax and then hired the attorneys and others to process the buy. Halifax even deducted the mortgage plan charges etc from our account, but a few days later Halifax cancelled our mortgage application with no reason specified whatsoever. Absolutely none given! We ... Reviewed on: 14th July 2022

Inefficient Mortgage Advisors

Avoid these guys for mortgage, the approval in principal letter Halifax provides is crap and never trust it. They got our hopes high and finally even without giving a proper reason they cancelled our loan application. We lost around £1000 because their inefficient service. Reviewed on: 6th July 2022
