Great response

How refreshing to telephone a company that picks up at once and quickly transfers me to the right person who deals with my two problems immediately. Excellent service.

Received a letter 3 weeks after opening account advising reduction in interest rates from 1% to .6% so wanted to transfer 20k to my Santander a/c where interest rate is .6% but instant access and cash back on utility bills. The system decided the money should be transferred to another account of mine and I could not change it. I tried deleting it to type in new details, just would not let me. I transferred money into the Melton from 2 different accounts, it obviously decided that i would only be allowed to transfer money back to the account it deemed. Really annoying as now I will have to wait till the transfer takes place and then transfer these funds into the bank account I want them in.

Fixed rate offers disappear before you can send the application

It is one thing having a reasonable interest rate but not if it is withdrawn before you can apply. Add in the fact that there are no links on their website to download application forms and you get the impression they don't want your... Read more

Not at all happy but as we are so far down the line I dont really have much choice. But will in no way ever use the Melton ever again. I would rather pay buildstore extra fees than use the Melton.!!!!

I'm currently going through a mortgage application first started back in Jan 2020.
I'm disgusted at the length of time this has taken, I have paid your fee's and surveys but here we are in JULY now still no mortgage offer. The service is atrocious from the Melton. No feedback on what's happening. I was assured back in May that mistakes had been made and things now would move much more quickly. This is an absolute joke, every month that goes by is costing me £750 in rent. I'm now going to raise this with the FCA as I'm been strung along with no feedback whatsoever.


I'm at a loss as to how on earth you manage to get any customers at all. I will also share the quality of discontent that has been shown by the Melton on my social media platforms to make people alert as to how you treat potential clients.. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. You've been warned.

Local service with exceptional standards

I save with the Melton as it is locally based and community orientated. The service offered by the staff in Oakham is outstanding.

So impressed start to finish was really helpful and friendly service. You always go through a switchboard staffed by a real (and helpful) person, never an automated option list, and they'll take message if the person or team isn't available etc.. Every team/person I dealt with from Nicola at initial application stage to Tess and the completions team went extra mile to guide us and explain the process. Always felt like they were a team who knew each other and were dealing with us personally and not a massive corporate passing you from dept to dept as a just another number. And I don't know of another company that would send you a welcome hamper of goodies to welcome you to your new home. Lovely a touch! Thank you for all of that and for giving us a mortgage!
