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

Extremely helpful & knew their products - but - not sure they fully understood HMRC rules/laws

According to Gov.uk, interest earned up to £10k will be notified to HMRC direct by the building society/ies - according to the member of H&R staff I spoke to, H&R will not do this. Other building societies have told me that all building societies do this. Do H&R inform HMRC of interested earned or not? Reviewed on: 20th September 2023

Reply from Hinckley & Rugby Building Society Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with this useful feedback. We can confirm, in line with regulations, required information regarding interest paid to members is provided to HMRC. Please accept our apologies for any confusion you experienced in branch. We know one of our team has been in touch with you to discuss this and answer any further questions you may have.

A Genuine Interest in helping the Local community

Caven showcased the society’s keen interest to help the local community. He sat me and my mother down as he saw she was really upset when considering what to do with inheritance. We thought he was the manager within the branch but he very humbly told us that he wasn’t and was just a student in Lutterworth yet still demonstrated extensive knowledge and understanding of our situation Reviewed on: 9th September 2023

Reply from Hinckley & Rugby Building Society This is really lovely to hear. Thank you very much for taking the time to tell us about how Caven helped you with such a personal matter. It’s always great to hear feedback like this and to be able to share comments like these with the individuals is a pleasure. Please be assured your comments will be shared with Caven and the branch team.
