Review of the Leek Building Society, Mortgages:

Impressive Mortgage process

4
The mortgage process went well, in particular the valuation was done quite quickly. The mortgage advisor was very helpful, in fact during the process when I was abroad she made sure she contacted me on the temporary number I gave her. However, my only frustration was after the valuation when I was told everything was ok, it took a while for the team to officially confirm/ send docs over to me. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2024

We’ve had our mortgage for 6 + years now, we were first time buyers so new to mortgages. The help and guidance we received was just what we needed. Reviewed on: 3rd March 2023

Great service and helpful staff

I switched my mortgage from a residential to a buy to let. I was quite daunted by the idea of this but all of the people that I spoke with were so helpful and explained everything brilliantly. The process was really easy and at no point did I feel uneasy about what I was doing. I've recommended them to many of my friends as the levels of service in my opinion are so high.

Friendly, helpful and always happy with a big welcoming smile on their faces. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2023

slow and overly complicated

1
Leek made a simple buy to let mortgage incredibly complicated and it took a long time to get the mortgage in place despite it really being a simple, relatively small, mortgage. They imposed conditions for no real purpose costing us extra money in the process Reviewed on: 2nd January 2023
