Review of the HSBC, Fixed Rate Mortgage:

Very good value fixed rate mortgage

Very good customer service, clear communication, no issues raised in over two years. Very pleased with the way I have been dealt with, staff are proactive and very helpful. Reviewed on: 4th April 2023

Cautious lending

More cautious than other banks in terms of what they would lend us but given the current climate they might be doing the right thing for their customers. Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Gets less and less of a personal service as years go by

When I first obtained a mortgage with HSBC about 25 years ago, I had a very nice lady in my local branch who stayed in touch each year making sure I was happy with the service - it was really good. But, as times have got harder and I've missed a payment here and here over the years, the bank has become the same as all the others - no personal service, everything automated and you have to explain yourself over and over and over again each time you contact the bank,. All banks are the same these days frankly. If a friendly personal approach worked 25 years ago why doesn't it now? Reviewed on: 3rd February 2023

Good product

Easy app and overpayment service Reviewed on: 19th January 2023

This bank will crush your hopes, sanity, and process of buying a house

Horrific communication and people that just don't care about you. Go with them and you SERIOUSLY risk jeopardising getting your property at the last hurdle. They almost caused us to lose our property purchase at the last minute because they lost a fax... This fax contained three simple questions from our solicitor that they needed to say yes or no to. It took them 2.5 months!!! At first, they said they lost the fax, so our solicitor re-sent it 4 times and by post in the end. Then every week it was "our system is not showing it" then every week it was "we will respond in 48 hours hours" never happened... We went from call centers in India to the UK complaints department who couldn't access each complaint file or couldn't get in touch with the right person. It's a circus of a bank fronting with large ad budgets and branding to make it seem more reputable. The seller almost pulled out from us because of this. Imagine going through all the hellish process of solicitors back and forth to them lose your house because money-grabbing HSBC does not care about you to just look at a 5 paragraph email and say yes or no. Go with a smaller bank that will give you attention. I am evening removing my personal banking with them and my business banking with them and advising all my friends and family to do the same. I have zero confidence in their care or their ability. Trust me, this bank will add HUGE stress to your life. It's just not worth it. Reviewed on: 12th January 2023

Good products, dodgy back-end

Poor climate rating puts me off, but was by far the most affordable product. Reviewed on: 17th August 2022

Fair Rates

My first mortgage and it had been a pleasure to deal with them. Reliable and never had any issues. Can see how much I am paying off on the app so meets my needs Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

Easy to deal with

Great support when rate updates needed - good products and market beating approach to service Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

Absolute shambles

HSBC are an absolute shambles. We've had various mortgages in the past with HSBC with no issues, and because the advisor cannot correctly identify me as self employed as I own 65% of the company that employs me, the underwriter knocked us back. We are now sorted with another provider. But it doesnt end there, they forgot to cancel their own valuation survey of the property afterwards and so the people we are buying off are getting bothered by HSBC valuation at their doorstep for a mortgage we've been rejected for. Will never use HSBC again and would never recommend to anyone Reviewed on: 14th June 2022

Good rates

No problem so far each review get lowest rates Reviewed on: 21st January 2022

Responsive to need

You can have a personal meeting with your mortgage broker and discuss realistic needs Reviewed on: 7th September 2021
