Slow process - got there in the end!

The whole process was slow and time consuming probably due to Covid and the amount of information requested and the level of detail required. Got there in the end though, so thank you HRBS! Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Covid experience made it a totally different application. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

If you would like the Society to contact you to discuss how the application was different please email your contact details to [email protected] with your contact information.

Very slow!

I’ve never known a slower purchase. Too many hoops to jump through despite the amount of detailed information we provided! Not open to using smaller but specialist solicitors. Shocking valuation, a second opinion should have been taken! The only overriding factor was the underwriter who took a view. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2021

Reply from Hinckley & Rugby Building Society Thank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry that your experience was not more positive although we’re glad that our underwriter exercised individual judgement with your application – this is what sets us apart from many larger lenders. We’d love to investigate the circumstances behind the slow progress and provide you with a personalised response – please can you email the Head of Underwriting - [email protected] with your name and account number? Response date: 2nd March 2021

Throughout the process HRBS have helpful, responsive and prepared to ‘go the extra mile’ to make sure that everything has been as stress free as possible. We would like to express our thanks to all the team. Reviewed on: 25th February 2021

Long winded and frustrating

3 to 4 underwriters all asking for the same info time after time Reviewed on: 22nd February 2021

Reply from Hinckley & Rugby Building Society Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry that you were unhappy with this aspect of your application. We’ve tried to call you twice to discuss the complexities bespoke to your circumstances which necessitated the involvement of several of our underwriters at a late stage but haven’t been able to get through to you. If you’d like to email [email protected] then we’d be happy to talk you through our processes and timelines. Response date: 1st March 2021
