Review of the Hinckley & Rugby Building Society, Savings:

I recently applied for a mortgage with HINCKLEY AND...

I recently applied for a mortgage with HINCKLEY AND RUGBY BUILDING SOCIETY and was initially approved for £288,000. However, the offer was unexpectedly reduced to £273,000 without a clear explanation. Despite paying a £199 application fee, I have yet to receive a refund, despite multiple attempts to contact customer service. This sudden change caused significant stress and wasted valuable time. I believe the lender's initial assessment was flawed, as the discrepancy of £15,000 is too large to be attributed to a simple error. Additionally, I am disappointed that my bonus was not fully considered in the initial decision-making process. If you are considering applying for a mortgage with HINCKLEY AND RUGBY BUILDING SOCIETY, I would advise caution. Their lack of transparency, inconsistent communication, and failure to address customer concerns have left me feeling frustrated and dissatisfied Reviewed on: 4th October 2024

Staff were very helpful and explained what was required and phones were answered promptly

I was concerned that account payment details were given to me with a phone call to me. I was not happy with this security and requested this information by secure email which was then sent to me so that i could transfer fund within the tight deadline of 5 working days. The second account i opened I sent a checque writen out to myself by recorded post to to overcome my security concern. I am also concerned now what will happen at maturity and how I will receive the return of my funds. Reviewed on: 28th December 2023

Superb customer service, great savings rate

I selected a savings account with H&RBS, and as I do not live close to a branch I completed the account opening application by post, and expected to wait some time for a response as it was sent over the Christmas holiday. I was delighted to receive a call on the first possible business day to confirm that my account was already opened, and further calls to confirm receipt of the funds. The customer service I received could not have been better, and I am very happy to deal with the Coalville branch. Reviewed on: 28th December 2023

Reply from Hinckley & Rugby Building Society It’s wonderful to hear you were happy with the service you received from our Coalville branch and the speed it was delivered over Christmas.

Reply from Hinckley & Rugby Building Society Thank you for taking the time to pass on your comments regarding the service you received at our Castle Street branch. It’s great to hear they managed to convey everything clearly, there are a lot of terms used in financial services which aren’t familiar, therefore one of main concerns is making sure everything is understood fully.

Thinking of moving to this building society.

Live in Rugby and decided check this building society out. I have been with the Halifax bank nearly all my adult life, which is just a few buildings down from H & R. Never had interest on my savings for the last 10 years with the Halifax. Went in H & R today and spoke to someone about starting an account with them, plenty of information about the interest rate’s which was very pleasing. So in the new year l will be saving my money in the H & R. Reviewed on: 21st December 2023
