Service is not good in the conveyancing

3
I am very disappointed with the service that Marsden has devolved to LMS, and subsequently to the Law firm Hennah Haywood in Newport. Different charges than notified at the beginning of the transaction. A dismissive stance from the law firm when questioning the difference in amounts, I suggest Marsden need to review specific terms and charges for expat mortgages and who they work with.

The Marsden - Caveat Emptor!

3
The Marsden no longer employ in-house mortgage advisors and provide no advice as to the suitability of any mortgage product offered to the customer. Instead, should you request it, they refer you to the Mortgage Advice Bureau. This organisation charges for its service. Thus, with the Marsden, it's Caveat Emptor, as they offer an execution-only service. In my opinion, this is both unprofessional and unacceptable. I have submitted a formal complaint to the Marsden.

.I appreciated all the apparent cooperation.

I appreciated the apparent cooperation between my Connect Mortgage Broker and the Marden Society: also the Marden appointing a conveyancing solicitor . Assessing reliable firms can be difficult. I would have found the paperwork unfathomable without Paul Crow (broker). I was kept fully informed throughout the application,& appreciated being sent the details of the Marden Society's History & philosophy. Reviewed on: 1st May 2026

Excellent Service

I applied for a retirement interest only mortgage via the advisor Tembo. Marsden offered a very competitive rate and I was keen to get on board. The application required a lot of detail about the planned use of the loan and once I had provided that Marsden responded quickly and positively. Reviewed on: 16th February 2026
