Excellent customer service

Qualities listed below, you hardly get in “modern customer service” anymore. Good listening skills, empathy, patience, communicating at the pace of customer. Cheerful. Making the customer feel good about the experience. Well done Simone and Hinckley & Rugby. Reviewed on: 13th September 2024

Slow, poor value and unhelpful

Took 8 months to arrange a remortgage, response to any communication always exceptionally slow and often asked to provide the same information multiple times. Made the already stressful process of renovating a house even more challenging than it needed to be. Largely unhelpful throughout. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

Thank you for your taking the time to pass on your feedback – we would be very grateful if you could contact us so that we can discuss the processing of your application, we’re keen to learn from past experiences and address areas we could improve: https://www.hrbs.co.uk/contact-us/ Response date: 28th May 2024

Over 30 years great service.

We have had our mortgage with H&R for over 30 years and have always had excellent service. Whenever we have had questions or needed to take further borrowing for work on the house the process has been clear and support helpful. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2024
