Wanted a buy to let mortgage and the rates with the leek united were very competitive and the actions of the staff was fantastic Reviewed on: 13th January 2025

Just the right level of service.

5
I took out my Tracker mortgage with Leek United in 2007 and it proved to be the right decision, both financially and from a service perspective. The choice of a Tracker mortgage, worked in my favour in the earlier years, but also made me effectively overpay when the interest rates dropped. Service-wise Leek United have it just right, with minimal but appropriate communication, avoiding any unwanted 'Sales' type mailshots or electronic materials. Reviewed on: 13th January 2025

First time buyers

Myself and my husband were recently first time buyers so everything felt very overwhleming however we absolutley didnt need to feel like this as Leek building society were approachable and easy to use. All documents were dealt with fast and any questions were answered promptly, we had no issues at all. Leek building society made a very scary and stressful time much easier!

Manual underwriting

5
I was looking for a mortgage provider who offered manual underwriting as I prefer the more human approach. It was a great experience all around and I couldnt recommend highly enough! All of the advisors were super helpful and always clear and concise. Thank you so much! Reviewed on: 13th January 2025

'Simply the Best!'

5
The Leek Building Society is our fourth building society and by far the best in 30 years of being homeowners. There is always 'a human' to speak to on the other end of the line and the advice is cobstructive, practical and, at times, reassuring. We would not now go to any other provider!
