Simone Jones is a credit to her organisation!

5

Simone Jones was incredibly patient, polite, professional and thorough in our discussion today regarding our product switch internally at HRBS. With everything going on in this unstable marketplace we are all in and to able to speak to someone like Simone (Jones) who treated my call with such respect and courtesy speaks volumes. Please pass my encouraging words onto your colleague and any new starters at your organisation need to listen to our call in training as an example of how it should be done!

Consistently Excellent Service

5

I have held a mortgage with Hinckley & Rugby for over 20 years prior to recently redeeming my mortgage.From application to redemption, the staff have been so helpful and friendly. Nothing has ever been too much trouble. They have made redeeming my mortgage, following the death of my wife, so simple. Special callouts to Eloise and Deborah for excellent service. I have recommended H&R to many of my friends. Thank you! Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

Great service as usual!

My mortgage product is coming up to its maturity and so time for a new one. I love the simplicity that HRBS employs when a renewal is due. I decided to make a call to the helpline to validate my thinking was correct and was very impressed with the level of service that Jo Tidey provided. Thanks again, HRBS! Reviewed on: 30th May 2023

Friendly, helpful, very detailed and lengthy process

5

The staff I dealt with were universally friendly, polite and helpful. The process of arranging a simple top-up mortgage at very low loan to value and for a customer who can clearly afford the top-up payments many times over was incredibly overburdened with repetitive and nit-picklng detail. I do believe the process could be considerably truncated if the personnel had the power to do so, but they are completely constrained by their 'handbook' of process which is absolutely inflexible and ossified in stone. However, of course, it is the company's money and not mine and they are free to dispense it in any way they wish. I think they are wasting time and money by not being able to take a more sensible and business-minded approach to their applications. It's almost as if they are frightened to lend and need to over convince themselves before daring to do one of the 2 most important things this financial company does - lending and taking deposits.

Outstanding service

5

I have just arranged for my existing mortgage to go onto a new mortgage product. This was mainly arranged by Simone Jones, who gave me outstanding customer service, so I would highly recommend Hinckley and Rugby and I am very happy to remain a happy and loyal customer. I hope that Simone Jones will be commended by her managers as it is the fantastic service that she gives, which makes Hinckley and Rugby a great building society and mortgage provider. Thank you.
