Mansfield Building Society Mortgages reviews (349)

Mortgage for purchase of land and self build

4
I am delighted that I have been offered a mortgage by Mansfield. It has taken a long time, 5 months to secure but I fully understand the reasons why (COVID 19) and lending conditions changed but I was thrilled when the offer was confirmed and the funds were released to my solicitor on the day requested. My solicitor was most impressed with your friendly service. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Good overall service and products

4
Mansfield have provided a good level of service throughout the mortgage and I was able to re-mortgage a number of times with Mansfield to take advantage of cheaper deals. Whenever I had a need to speak to someone they have always been very helpful. The one downside that I have had was when I paid a lump sum that took me below the threshold for getting a new deal and I was then stuck on SVR for a few years. Mansfield need to make their mortgage offers available to all customers regardless of the amount of outstanding. Reviewed on: 4th February 2021

PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAUGE

SO EASY TO SORT THINGS OUT, STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS Reviewed on: 20th January 2021

Not as honest a they make out

1
I had a tracker mortgage. When taking this out i was told that although it wasnt locked to bank of england rate it changed with the bank of england rate. This did not occur. During the lock down i had severe financial difficulties. The bank of england rate came down; mansfields did not. Also when my contract came to an end the default rate was excessivrly high... £130+ more a month. This is wrong. Reviewed on: 12th January 2021

Human approach to lending not a computer

5
Having had great difficulty in securing a mortgage The Mansfield have looked at our application in a human aspect and not what the computer says at a lot of the main high stream lenders. They have been helpful throughout and thanks to them we now own our home. Thanks Mansfield Building Society for the human touch Reviewed on: 11th January 2021

Disappointing

2
Initially pleased until we wanted to move house. Numerous obstacles put in the way of transferring the mortgage. Then told that no longer lending smaller amounts. Had to repay the mortgage early and then had to pay penalties. Really disgusted with the service we have received. Reviewed on: 11th December 2020

Excellent!

We are so happy with the Mansfield in every respect. They listened to what we needed, essentially a bridging mortgage, worked out a plan, actioned it quickly and precisely and were helpful and friendly throughout. We thoroughly recommend the Mansfield BS. Reviewed on: 9th December 2020
