Review of the Nationwide, Mortgages:

A Harsh Lesson in Discrimination Against Caregivers...

1
A Harsh Lesson in Discrimination Against Caregivers and disabilities. I am writing this review with deep disappointment and absolute frustration after my recent experience with Nationwide Building Society. Initially, I was thrilled to receive a mortgage offer, allowing us to proceed with plans to relocate closer to family and provide much-needed support for my partner following her stroke. However, our excitement turned to disbelief when the offer was abruptly withdrawn. The reason? Nationwide refused to acknowledge the validity of my career break, a time dedicated to caring for my partner during her rehabilitation. During this period, we solely relied on our own savings and investments to support ourselves, never seeking any government assistance. Despite my strong financial history, significant assets, and a promising new career as a CEO in the veterinary industry, they penalized me for prioritizing my family's well-being. This experience exposed a disturbing truth: Nationwide, and perhaps the broader financial industry, lacks empathy and understanding towards caregivers. Their rigid policies and reliance on traditional employment history create a system that indirectly discriminates against individuals who have made sacrifices for their loved ones. It's a harsh reminder that even major institutions like Nationwide fail to recognize the realities of life and the diverse paths individuals take. Their actions send a clear message: if you choose to care for a family member who suffers sudden life changing illness, your financial future may be jeopardized. This serves as a stark reminder to any individual who now must have to face the reality that discrimination comes in all forms in this particular case the Nationwide. Reviewed on: 15th August 2024

Poor

1
First Time buyers- flexaccount with Nationwide for over 15 years. Given a DIP for a fixed rate mortgage. Application declined two weeks later after DIP & no reason given? Surely a DIP shouldn't have been given if they then contradict themselves and then decline the full application?? Reviewed on: 9th February 2021

Great interest

5
The lowest interest on the market with no product fee, everything done online, no need to visit a branch, very easy application process, application dealt with quickly Reviewed on: 14th August 2020

Reassurance with Nationwide

5
A reliable company with careful lending criteria which provides reassurance in your product (mortgage in my case) being right for you. They have a common sense approach which is very relatable in a sometimes confusing market in my opinion. Reviewed on: 12th July 2020

Easy to update mortgage deal online

5
Our mortgage deal was due to renew at the beginning of lockdown. I can not fault Nationwide’s online service. I was able to choose a new deal using their comparison tool via the banking app and renew there and then. Saved a lot of hassle at a stressful time. Reviewed on: 12th July 2020

slow and lose information

3
House sale almost fell through because Nationwide kept losing paperwork that I sent to them. Took 3 or 4 attempts to send things before they finally got them. I chose nationwide because at the time they were one of the only mortgage providers with whom you could apply online at a good rate. I ended up having to physically go into the bank for them to send my documents Reviewed on: 9th February 2020

Excellent customer service

5
We had our own dedicated mortgage consultant from start to finish who answered all of our questions fully. The whole application process was easy, transparent and stress free. Reviewed on: 4th February 2020
