Perfect if you like poor customer service and snail like responses (text edited by Smart Money People)

Where to start? Began mortgage application 6 weeks ago with requests for various bits of paperwork. Every time we expected a valuation date before a formal mortgage offer was given more paperwork was chased even though much of it contained the same information they had already been provided with. After 5 weeks, I rang through to speak to the underwriter dealing with our application as was told she had gone off on sick and not sent through the paperwork to my place of employment after stating she would do it imminently. The case was passed on to a new underwriter who hadn’t updated herself with the case notes so didn’t have a clue what they were waiting for (ironic considering we didn’t either!) the following week it was assigned to yet another case worker who evidently only worked part time and wanted yet again, more paperwork. This was sent through and she stated she would review this within 24 hours. Not sure which clock she was going by but 5 days later she left us on hold for almost an hour and the office kept telling us she was on lunch (for almost 2 hours) and still wouldn’t return our call. In the end she declared she couldn’t help us even though our solicitors were waiting to complete pending formal mortgage offer! In the midst of this we were awaiting a date with 2 small children needing to move out of rented accommodation within the next 2 weeks. The amount of stress and anxiety caused by this absolute joke of a company is endless! Would never recommend, (text edited by Smart Money People). Reviewed on: 8th April 2019
