Ok but very slow

Recommend by our IFA but what should have taken 3-4 weeks took over 10. I realise that there pandemic affected everything but the delay and inability to be able to contact anyone or get a progress report caused considerable stress. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2020

Good old no-nonsense building society

As older buyers, it was quite difficult to get a mortgage. We finally got one with the Mansfield BS - the rates were good, and we have found the customer service throughout the short life of the mortgage (now paid off) excellent. Reviewed on: 6th November 2020

Interest Only Mortgage

4
Very satisfactory. I have found Mansfield to be very efficient and helpful especially at this time of Covid. I needed an interest only mortgage at a fixed rate for 2 years in order to buy a property whilst I sold my previous one, which took a year. In that time the interest rate was extremely satisfactory and once the my property was sold and the 2 years was over I was able to pay off the mortgage. If I ever needed another mortgage I would certainly consider going to Mansfield. Thank you Reviewed on: 4th November 2020

The people I dealt with were friendly and efficient. No problems experienced whatsoever, and I like the idea of interest only mortgages and that few lenders provide these days. Reviewed on: 29th September 2020
