Review of the Precise Mortgages, Mortgage:

One star is too many

1
One star is too much for this company. I had to ask three times for a redemption certificate, finally received and paid by cheque to outstanding balance plus the extra for paying by cheque. Certificate received on 20/10/2023, cheque sent on the same date by recorded delivery, cheque was received by precise on 23/10/2023 and not paid in until 03/11/2023! Now they are chasing me for an outstanding balance for interest that has occurred because they didn’t submit the cheque on the date they received. I have spoken to numerous people now at precise and no one is willing to help or address this matter. Now they want to send an email to the financial team. Absolutely joke of a company.

Very Poor Client Management

1
Very Poor Client Management, lack of information provided. Went through the whole process and they pulled out without reason. Terrible communication - avoid at all costs! Reviewed on: 11th January 2021

Total shambles

1
As an experienced portfolio landlord I'm used to dealing with lenders. However,Precise are without doubt the most shambolic. Each dept works in silos,nobody communicates with each. No idea of customer needs or service. Avoid at all cost. Reviewed on: 30th April 2020

Avoid

1
Very poor credit management team and make silly excuses not to lend. They take you on a wild goose chase and take arrangement fees and valuation fees and then make silly excuses why the application gets declined. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2020

DEVASTATED!

1
DEVASTATED! We exchanged contracts today on a property, our future home which we told Precise we would not occupy until we no longer had a buy to let mortgage on it (property to be let until we sell our current home and business and therefore pay off the BLT mortgage).Nothing in their terms and conditions to say that this might be a problem, only occupancy during the terms of their mortgage which we understand. Because we have intent to occupy in the future (after the mortgage is paid off) they have withdrawn the mortgage offer AFTER exchange and BEFORE completion which was due tomorrow! Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Excellent Customer Service

5
I applied through a broker and was advised the checks are more thorough and would take longer than a straight forward high street application. My credit history was very poor with recent CCJs so I wasn’t expecting a great result. However, I got an offer in 3 weeks and spoke to precise directly a couple of times during the process and they were very pleasant and helpful. Can’t fault them! Would definitely recommend for anyone with a more difficult to place application. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Terrible!

1
Waited 4 months for a mortgage offer to then rather than apologise tell me they want more deposit. Avoid!!! Reviewed on: 28th September 2019

Mid application

1
Through a broker in Sheffield, I was pre approved no problem, then reduced the amount I could borrow, added fees and increased the fixed rate to 5 years, questioning where the deposit is coming from, broker has been saying for weeks we are nearly there, I could probably be there with another lender, if you dont want my business, say no quickly. I have campaigned against credit companies, with Rt Hon Ed Milliband MP, I am sure he will soon be asking us how our move is going..... Reviewed on: 31st August 2019

Time wasters who just want your fees

1
Took 6 months to agree to offer after being pre approved in principal - paid fees and then precise kept asking for more docs that were not industry standard even with a 30 percent deposit. Offered a 1 month mortgage - joke of a company who just want to get you to Pay your fees with no intention of progressing Reviewed on: 2nd May 2019

Beware of incentives (text removed by Smart Money People)

1
Just taken out a mortgage with the above. On the mortgage pre application I was told that I qualified for a refund on the valuation fees on mortgage completion. This and other fees were paid and the process continued. Once the mortgage was completed Precise then decided to change their mind and refused to issue a refund. The overall process was not the best, they were slow with dealing with the application and seem to slow the process up even more with minor issues. (text removed by Smart Money People). I would not use or recommend again. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
Reply from Precise Mortgages We regret to read you were unhappy with your experience with us. If one of our mortgage products has an incentive that one or more fees will be refunded, e.g. on completion, then this will be clearly set out in the Mortgage Offer; conversely, if the fees are not refundable, this will also be made clear in the Offer. We’d like to investigate your case in more detail, but can’t find you on our system with the details you’ve provided here. If you’d like us to look into this for you, please call us on 01902 625958 between 9am and 5pm. Response date: 25th February 2019

Waste of time

Pre approved. Took far too long. Had us run ragged for paperwork then refused us after weeks of waiting. Reviewed on: 28th January 2019
