You came up with an offer when other lenders were dithering. The rate was good and there was no fuss about checking my credentials and background. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2021

Terrible underwriter

1
Mortgage was being delayed by one particular underwriter, the minute he left for maternity leave the application passed through and faced no delays, it was as if he was deliberately causing hurdles for us to jump. Reviewed on: 26th July 2021

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
