HSBC Tracker Rate Mortgage reviews (14)

Very poor customer service

1
Difficult to locate help/support from anyone at HSBC (either in branch or on the phone) in this era of rising living costs and increasing rates; branches are closing rapidly. Phone customer service agents don’t understand HSBC products (multiple occurrences of this) and it usually takes four times as long as it should to complete basic requests over the phone. Very poor service received and getting worse in 2023. Will be changing to another provider as soon as I can. Reviewed on: 19th March 2023

Let down again by HSBC

1
Asked to have my existing premier customer Mtg deal extended with addional loan. Was told online, 'yes', was told in interview 'yes', but then they didn't underwrite it, no counter offer. Overall very poor service by HSBC across so many aspects, even though I am, well was, a premier customer. Stay clear Reviewed on: 15th March 2023

A bit sharkish

3
HSBC are somewhat slow to respond to changes, e.g. the pandemic, where we applied for a mortgage holiday, it took them TWO MONTHS to respond, acknowledge and grant our request. Also they are very hard to contact by email or phone. Their message is always JUST KEEP PAYING!! This is not always possible me! Reviewed on: 27th July 2020

great rates no worries

4
have had a mortafge with HSBC for 15 years and have always enjoyed a really low interest rate. They have great deals however, I may need to shop around in the future as having become self employed they won't lend me as much for a remortgage as other lenders have agreed to Reviewed on: 30th December 2018

Fairly understanding

3
Seem to be fairly understanding in the present climate of hardship struggles; though late payments can be followed by a bombardment of calls, texts and letters - then nothing. It's like your name appears on a spinning wheel to be targeted that week, then it all goes quiet. Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Great service

4
Always responsive if we question whether we can benefit from improved deals. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2018

Great mortgage rate!

4
All the staff at HSBC are great very knowledgable and professional but also helpful and friendly. I had to see them quite a few times about my mortgage due to changing circumstances but they were always great and always gave me plenty of time to go through things and find the deal that suited me. They found me a really good rate which was much less than I was offered by other providers. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2017

Told them everything, they said yes, took the deposit then said no based on what we had told them

1
We wanted to buy the flat that we live in from my parents. We knew all about it and went to the HSBC, sat down with the advisor and discussed the problems that it was ex-local authority, that it was concrete and over 6 floors. We were brutally upfront and honest as several suppliers had declined to lend on flats in the building, but we knew a neighbour had borrowed with HSBC previously. We couldn't have been more forthcoming about the flat. They said no problem. We paid £1,500 deposit to apply. The surveyor came around and said that they didn't lend on the building as it was ex-local authority and concrete. Got really cross and in the end they promised to refund us the deposit. Never happened. They showed themselves to be completely untrustworthy from beginning to end. Reviewed on: 30th November 2016

Helpful Mortgage Advice

3
I took out my mortgage with HSBC 19 years. They were very helpful, explaining the different products to us and we took out an endowment mortgage. Everything went through quickly and smoothly and we were kept informed every step of the way. After a few years they contacted us to explain that the endowment policy wasn't likely to cover the mortgage after all, and after explaining the different options, switched us to a repayment mortgage. We have been satisfied with the information available and the clarity of mortgage statements. Also the ease of using online banking. Reviewed on: 30th August 2016

good with low interest rates

good at the moment with low interest rates. Suspect though that this will change when rates go up Reviewed on: 30th August 2015
