Review of the NatWest, Fixed Rate Mortgage:

Horrendous experience, changed the charges midterm

We met a mortgage advisor who, amongst other things, suggested we consider a permission to let letter to fit our circumstances. She explained that this incurs a one off fee and would last the duration of our 5 year fixed term. She helped us to compare this to other options and it was, not by a great amount, the best financial option. We were also looking at other companies but with the permission to let offer Natwest was fractionally cheaper so we went with it. Less than one year into our 5 year fix we received a letter advising they were changing their permission to let and now want £120 per year to maintain it. We complained explaining that whilst we were happy to take this into consideration after the fixed term it isn't fair to fix us into a deal that they change to ask for more money from when we are already fixed in. The whole complaint process was a fiasco, they arranged appointments that when we had them they said weren't the right one so they couldn't help, they failed to contact us at arranged times and the whole process was laborious and complex. At the end they, surprise surprise, didn't uphold our complaint and want their first extra payment this month...alongside our mortgage repayment and having already paid for the letter on the first place. It's been incredibly stressful as I was heavily pregnant when having to deal with it originally and now we have a newborn and a demand for £120 that we never even signed up for. Absolutely disgusted with their service and will never go with them again. Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

NatWest flexible and good value for money mortgages

NatWest has been providing my mortgage for about 6 years, including three renwals of 2-year mortgage products. They offer very good rates, with no fees (through L&C), high flexibility including up to 20% of the outstnding amount repayment. Also, they were flexibleenoughto reduce the mortgage term at no extra cost. Reviewed on: 25th March 2025

Great mortgage rate and support

Got access to a better rate direct than through my broker. The manage my mortgage facility is really easy to use to set up overpayments and has all the information I need about my product. Love how it also integrates with my NatWest app. Reviewed on: 12th February 2025

Online mortgage has been inaccessible for 2.5 years!

Reference number: 84261762 I have not been able to access my online mortgage for 2.5 years because of their faulty IT platforms/systems. And of course their way of resolving this is to constantly waste my time 'pretending' to search for a solution. Constantly promising that this will be resolved so that I do not escalate the complaint! They honestly think that calling me up during working hours to 'chat' is helping me I just want to change to another provider but their exit fees are ridiculous and of course they keep delaying me without giving me a final response so that I cannot escalate! You might prefer to bank with HSBC, Nationwide, or Halifax all of which I have no problem with. Reviewed on: 21st October 2024

I was lucky to secure a 1.99% interest rate for 5 years on my mortgage in 2021. I’m hoping that they’ll be able to offer a decent rate again when I renew. Ideally close to this but much lower than current offers! Reviewed on: 16th June 2024
