Review of the HSBC, Fixed Rate Mortgage:

Flexibility within the product/easy to use app

After seeking help from a professional HSBC came out the best for my circumstances in terms of a 5 yr fixed mortgage. I like the fact the paperwork that was sent through explained in detail and also a brief summary of what the terms of the mortgage were and how much I could overpay each year. The app is easy to use and it is useful to keep track of how the mortgage payments are impacting on the amount borrowed. Reviewed on: 20th March 2023

Mortgage for first time buyers.

My partner and I were first time buyers looking for a fixed mortgage rate and HSBC were offering a great deal. We asked for information and help on how to apply for the mortgage and the lady we dealt with was very helpful giving us loads of information. Staff were friendly and advised us every step of the way. We secured the mortgage and HSBC were always there to answer our questions and when we finally moved into our house we got a lovely card from the lady who had helped us process our mortgage. They offered us exceptional and friendly service. Reviewed on: 6th August 2018

Absolutely useless, lost everything we sent then never replied

We applied to HSBC for a mortgage last October. We took the option of using the online method as we were told this would be easiest. Oh what a joke that was. We uploaded everything asked of us, then about a week later we received a letter asking us for the same documents. We contacted them and they told us to ignore it. Two weeks went past with no update, so we logged in to find a message telling us we needed to upload our documents. We called and this time were told that they'd sent a letter and we'd ignored it. We explained we'd been told to, but they said this was wrong, they needed us to send our documents as they'd been lost. We uploaded them again, then a week later we got a letter asking us to upload our documents. The same process happened again - ignore it. Fast forward two months with the same process happening over and over again. Eventually we were passed to an assessor, who asked for more documents. We sent these, waited some more then logged in again. To our horror, our application was marked 'expired'! We called again to be told it had taken too long and we needed to begin the whole process again! Meanwhile our vendors were getting extremely impatient. We were told this would be fast tracked, so we did everything again, were told it was sent to an advisor and the next time we logged it the entire application was marked cancelled. We never did hear from anyone! Serious, do not waste your time! They'll lose you your house. Reviewed on: 18th July 2018

Good, helpful just a little slow

The only negative part of the process were how slow HSBC were to do everything. The surveyor took ages, all the approval took ages, the whole process ended up taking 3months. However the mortgage itself was a good rate and every member of staff I came across was lovely and full of good advice. Reviewed on: 19th May 2018

GREAT SERVICE

i WAS ABLE TO TAKE OUT A GREAT FIXED RATE MORTGAGE FOR A 5 YR TERM WITH MINIMAL FUSS AND EFFORT Reviewed on: 3rd January 2018

Great product and superb value from a great British bank ... despite the name of course

It was very straightforward to switch my mortgage to HSBC and their 10 year fix with no fees was a very good value way to provide certainty during very uncertain times. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Great rates, but could be a little quicker

Got a fantastic rate, was amongst the best in the market at the time. However, things were a little slow at their end, hence why I didn't give top marks. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Good rate but terrible application process

It took over 3 months to sort our new mortgage with hsbc despite having been known to them for over 20 years as a current account holder. The online application process was hellish as the system made me reset my username and password every time I tried to log on. And all this at the time of their tv ads where they boasted they could agree your mortgage in a day. Still, good rate saved us £200 pcm so worth it I suppose. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

0.99% 2 year

great product, took ages to get approval through initially despite being a 20 year customer (I think because they were overwhelmed with demand), but customer service person was very helpful and seemed to make an extra effort to get things through Reviewed on: 11th June 2017
