Monmouthshire Building Society Mortgages reviews (201)

Review of the Monmouthshire Building Society, Mortgages:

Great advisor. Dreadful process.

I already had a mortgage with MBS which was categorised as transferable but when I moved home I was ‘forced’ to pay outstanding monies and renew it. Michelle Groves was fantastic but the MBS made the whole process painful, intrusive and thoroughly unpleasant. Reviewed on: 10th August 2024

In branch service review

Vicky was very helpful and knowledgeable about all products. Provided me with a budget planner, explained various account options and even arranged a mortgage follow-up call. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2024

I had a great experience from beginning to end.

I had a great experience from beginning to end. The whole process was quick and easy. Much easier than other lenders I have dealt with in the past. This was mainly due to the mortgage consultant who kept me informed of progress every step of the way and was very approachable. I would thoroughly recommend Monmouthshire to anyone who is thinking of getting a mortgage. Reviewed on: 21st July 2024

Excellent service experienced from MBS Advisor.

Got in touch to renegotiate my mortgage which ends shortly and promptly arranged telephone appointments for next week. I spoke to Mr Wayne Donovan at the Newport office who was most helpful, polite and courteous. Our conversation was followed up promptly with information on what to expect during my future meeting and relevant information l would require to have at hand. Concise information and excellent information and help from Mr Donovan. 5* service. Reviewed on: 19th July 2024

Amazing customer service

Michelle has gone above and beyond and I can't thank her enough for all her help! Definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 15th July 2024

I really like how much you value your customers.

I really like how much you value your customers. Michelle gave me excellent advice - thank you. I do find your online system slow and difficult to use. For example, if I transfer savings it can take days to show on my account whereas with other saving accounts you can instantly access and transfer money and see it in real time.

Olly was very clear and very helpful with all our needs Reviewed on: 5th July 2024

Having a single point of contact

i like the fact i dealt with one person throughout the renewal of my mortgage; that person (Michelle) gave excellent advice and took time to understand my circumstances and advise on the relevant products Reviewed on: 30th June 2024

Absolutely unacceptable!

Absolutely unacceptable! I arranged a call with a mortgage advisor, clearly stating my overseas location and need for a phone number for the appointment. The call handler acknowledged this, yet the mortgage advisor didn't bother to respond to any of my emails, completely wasting my time. This lack of professionalism is utterly disappointing. They should have at least had the courtesy to acknowledge my emails. Don't bother with these so-called professionals. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2024

Thanks to Leon, we were able to get a mortgage for our new home after being let down on three occasions by a mortgage broker. Leon was professional, explained the process clearly and supported us during the application process. I wish we did a mortgage application weeks ago to save the drama! Reviewed on: 14th June 2024
