Mortgage Redemption Support

5
I recently contacted H&R to ask about redeeming my mortgage. I was helped by Deborah Winterton who gave me excellent support. Throughout the redemption process Deborah communicated regularly and promptly and gave me all of the information and help that I needed. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

Broken Commitment

1
I went through an independent mortgage advisor and HRBS was one of the offers we looked at. The offering was perfect for my age and position. We applied for the mortgage supplying all the detail requested. I was asked to increase the deposit which we did. I was then told that the mortgage had been approved. The developer was also told that the mortgage was approved. With this approval I was able to pay my holding monies, agree the price and negotiate some betterment into the deal. My broker and I were then told that the paper work was been sent for signing and that we would have the mortgage with in 5-7 working days. On this we planned our move out of our rented property and served notice. The developer pushed forward to get the house completed for the 6th May 2022. On the 5th May my broker was told by the underwriter that an error had been made and that HRBS could not provide this offer and that we had to start again. My Broker provided all the evidence that an offer had been made but the reply was simply sorry an error has been made. All previous agreements were in my view broken. The behaviour from that point was disgusting to say the least. Poor communication, all the information we had sent had to be resent. I had to put all my belongings into storage and had to move in with my sister-in law for 8 weeks. I am taking advice on making a formal complaint and a claim for costs I have incurred due to the unprofessional behaviour of HRBS. If, as the underwriter stated the person should not have made this offer what is that person doing committing HRSB to a deal. Except HRBS just ignore the situation and believe they operate above contract law. For the avoidance of doubt I intend to take this as high as I need, to recover my costs but also to make HRBS more accountable for their behaviours. Reviewed on: 25th July 2022

Your staff are your greatest asset, some of your procedures need to change

Every member of staff I spoke to was great however the fact that my mortgage application was sat on/not started for 8 weeks and I wasn’t informed almost cost me the sale of my house. Reviewed on: 19th July 2022
