Great customer service

We have just bought our mortgage with nationwide for our first home. They couldn't have been more helpful when we phoned them to discuss the terms etc. They explained the terms of the mortgage thoroughly and clearly when we were totally unaware. Definitely recommend them for first time buyers. Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Great rate and service

After researching rates, Nationwide offered a competitive short term deal with no fee. It went through quickly with no issues. Reviewed on: 20th December 2016

Delay Delay Delay

1
Applied for mortgage in first week of July It is now coming up to mid-December, and don't even have an offer. "Two day turnaround" for reviewing documents is actually 4 days, before you can escalate the case. Note that escalation can take "one day" (three) to return to you. Reasons for delay vary from an incorrect valuation (said the property was underpinned, 1 month and several fees later showed it wasn't) and documentation they should have requested at application stage being requested 3 months later. Reviewed on: 8th December 2016

Great product, user-friendly and they seem to be on your side (by comparison to most!)

5
Nationwide understand that you can't plan everything in your life and seem to offer a level of flexibility. Reviewed on: 21st November 2016

Straight Forward Process

Taking out a Fixed Rate Mortgage with Nationwide was the most straightforward process from buying my new home. They kept me up to date with every stage of the process and they were always helpful when I contacted them. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

A decent rate with good flexibility and customer support. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

Excellent value for a first time buyer

5
I got a first time buyer's mortgage through the Nationwide recently and they have been really helpful, especially when I've contacted them with lots of questions as I am new to the mortgage game. The mortgage itself is at a very competitive rate and had no arrangement fees - in fact I got £500 cashback after completion! I also had the very welcome bonus of a new home box delivered on the day I moved in full of goodies and useful items - everything from teabags, biscuits and mugs to a home magazine, toilet paper and kitchen roll. They have a secure message system online which I have used a few times and they always get back to me quickly with the correct information. I already had two other products with them to it was easy to log into the system. I would definitely recommend them as the branch staff are also helpful and friendly and there are still lots of branches around. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016
