Review of the Nationwide, Mortgages:

Best deal on our mortgage.

5
I currently have my mortgage with Nationwide, and have just renewed with them, as their deal was still the best. I’ve also had current and savings accounts with Nationwide, and always found them to have excellent customer service, whenever I’ve needed them - e.g. when I had to report some suspected fraudulent activity on my account, they were very responsive and extremely helpful. I also love being with a building society, rather than a bank, as they’re much more ethical. Reviewed on: 20th March 2024

Ask to check your data and get it erased

1
I had been a member for many years and recently closed all of my accounts following a lack of interest in the retention of business from the CEO. Following this I asked them to erase all of my data and following some very inconsistent replies saying it's 12 years and then only 6 I received a final email from them saying that they would not reply to any further correspondence saying that any further contact from me would be marked as unanswered. How rude is that? I had previously asked for copies of all of my data which I did receive a link to and you would be amazed how much and what they retain. So I have made a note to contact them in 6 six years to have it all removed as one of the things that they never assured me of was that it would actually be deleted even then. Time will tell, so be warned and maybe check out your position. Reviewed on: 18th March 2022

Using a plastic card reader to transfer money. Like banking in 1989. Don’t bother with these jokers Reviewed on: 16th March 2022

Notorious for down valuations

1
Nationwide are well known among brokers and individuals as down valuers. This means they down value your property in order to get you onto higher rates. By the time they tell you they have down valued your property you’ve already paid the fees and gone through credit checks - at which point most customers simply just accept the down valuations and end up paying more.

Helping hand mortgage

5
Living in the south east, saving for a house deposit wasn't the issue. I had more than 10% of a house for my family. However, despite having an above average household income, we could never borrow enough for a modest family home and have been renting for 20years. The helping hand mortgage changed our lives and allowed us to borrow just a little bit extra to afford a 3bed home in our area. We now don't have to decide between renting forever or moving up north! Honestly life changing! Reviewed on: 12th February 2022

Easy peasy

5
Great experience. Great customer service. Good rates. We remortgaged with Nationwide and then changed our bank accounts over as we were so pleased with them. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Straightforward

Process is all very smooth, terms and conditions are clear and easy to understand. Reviewed on: 15th January 2022
