Good Service from H&R

5
Very happy with service from H&R, all the work they did was very smooth. As it was a self-build mortgage we had gone through some intermediaries and if anything the few minor hiccups were on that side not H&R. would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 24th May 2021

Nicole and others were professional and efficient

4
The product is expensive but the staff behaved professionally and efficiently. I had a very unprofessional and inefficient broker and had I not left it too late to look around I would have bought a more competitive mortgage. My financial details clearly showed that the mortgage was affordable but I think that Hinckley&Rugby exploited my age in charging such a comparatively high rate of interest. Was it really necessary to charge me an extra £50 admin fee for reverting to a previous offer? Reviewed on: 17th May 2021
Reply from Hinckley & Rugby Building Society Thank you for your feedback - we’re pleased that our staff provided a professional and efficient service. Thanks also for allowing us to explain a little more about how we price our products, when we contacted you last week. We hope that you will remain a member of the Society for a long time.

Painfully slow

Very please to have finalised the mortgage, but it was an incredibly painful process for a fairly standard application. I almost lost the house purchase and became awfully stressful Reviewed on: 16th May 2021

We’d love to investigate the circumstances behind the slow progress and provide you with a personalised response – if you’re happy for us to do so, please email [email protected].

LENDING AS IT SHOULD BE!

One word.... OUTSTANDING.... That is how I will describe my experience with Hinckley & Rugby Building Society. From start to finish their expertise, customer service and professionalism was exceptional. Being a relatively small lender Hinckley & Rugby provide an intimate and personal service. This ensures that you are not just an applicant, but a member of an amazing family! Reviewed on: 26th April 2021
