Terrible Company not to be trusted

1
Happy to give me and my partner an agreement in principle and take the fees. Some 8 weeks later they moved the goalposts and criteria on lending to us . At the start we agreed a 5% deposit with our position very clear and transparent and acceptable to proceed. At what we thought was almost the offer stage the proposal was declined and only then with a 25% deposit could we possibly proceed. Our circumstances never changed I this time !!! An absolute waste of everyone’s time and energy . The qualification process is a total shambles . Because of the long process we also lost the property we were looking at For mortgages Avoid....absolutely terrible service Reviewed on: 9th July 2021

As a contractor I had found it difficult to obtain a mortgage from my existing lender of 25 years and other main stream lenders. H&R actually looked at my case as an individual and there were no loops to jump through to get a decision. The whole process was so smooth I thought I was dreaming. Wish I had known about them years ago. Reviewed on: 4th June 2021
