ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCY

The product is competitive. The clerical systems are clear. Any staff I dealt obviously knew what they were talking about. Thanks Reviewed on: 24th September 2021

`Porting' a mortgage is not what it seems and no-one explained what was involved. It is not a simple matter, it is applying for a new mortgage even if it is the same as the old one, and even if the old one is with the Marsden. It is a long and complicated process. It may be the pandemic or just the process itself but it is frustrating. It would be more than helpful if it was explained to customers before the process starts what was going to be needed, then all the figures and paperwork would already be at hand and would cut down on time and phone calls. People in the business are familiar with `porting' but customers are not and more explanations and time for questions are needed. Also the way in which monetary calculations are done by the building society needs to be gone through thoroughly so that the customer understands how the society have reached the figures they present to the customer. More openness please! Reviewed on: 15th September 2021

The period from application to offer was very swift and the requests for information were very clear. The whole process was much less painful than expected. Reviewed on: 27th August 2021

Overseas Borrower Rates

Glad the Marsden in a BS that will extend a mortgage to ex-pats, but I find it hard to see how the Society can justify the interest rates it charges us. Why oh why are they so much higher than for domestic customers. Reviewed on: 27th April 2021

Recognising that retired people with solid increasing pensions are your safest borrowers. If they need a lifetime loan allow it. To stop it at 85 is pathetic. Shows lack of undestanding skills. And outstanding loan (mortgage) reduces inheritance tax as well Reviewed on: 22nd April 2021

Job well done

I'm a "mature" borrower. The online processes adopted due to Covid constraints were easy to follow. The offer to extend my mortgage was attractive and made me feel valued. Well done Marsden and Thank You! Reviewed on: 21st April 2021
