Great customer support, easy to understand where we are and plan for the future. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming in our lovely local branch (and nice to actually have a physical branch to attend!) Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

Great customer service

My aunt had a mortgage with Marsden and sadly following a diagnosis with early onset dementia she had to move into a care home. I was able to manage her account through a dedicated support person and registering the power of attorney and managing the redemption following the sale was made so simple. I am so grateful to Wendy for her support at a really difficult time and praise their customer service. Reviewed on: 13th February 2024

Final stages of taking a holiday let mortgage with Marsden BS - most frustrating and laborious re-mortgage ever!

1
Started the (should have been) straight forward re-mortgage four months ago. It's a very ordinary terraced house in a decent area worth £400k borrowing £165k so not a particularly high-risk proposition. Honestly the number of questions and emails has taken literally days of my time to sort out. Just as you think it's over they start all over again with pointless questions that really do not affect their risk profile one bit. It's almost like they don't want to lend. If it wasn't for the fact that my current deal is almost up and I'd have to start the process again elsewhere, I would have have cancelled the application a few weeks ago. I just hope we can get it over the line in the next few days. But in all honesty - never again with Marsdens. I would recommend people seriously think twice before using Marsdens for a holiday let.

I recently remortgaged from another lender to Marsden. The process was straightforward and quick. I would like to particularly express my thanks to Sahdiya Ahmed and Kathy Tansey for their support and professionalism during the process. I would definitely recommend Marsden to friends and family. Thank you! Reviewed on: 7th October 2023
