Good rate but terrible application process

4
It took over 3 months to sort our new mortgage with hsbc despite having been known to them for over 20 years as a current account holder. The online application process was hellish as the system made me reset my username and password every time I tried to log on. And all this at the time of their tv ads where they boasted they could agree your mortgage in a day. Still, good rate saved us £200 pcm so worth it I suppose. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Great rates but farcical process

It took 4 months for our HSBC mortgage application to be approved, a good 2 months longer than it should have done.mwe were passed pillar to post so many times we seriously regretted picking HSBC over a comparable deal with a building society. Our application was even closed down by HSBC for no apparent reason with us only finding out (and getting it opened again) when we called for an update. When the application finally went through I put a formal complaint in and to give the complaints department their due credit they compensated us with an amount equivalent to what we had been paying in higher mortgage payments while the application was going through. The rate is very good and is saving us nearly £200 pcm but the process of securing it was seriously painful! Reviewed on: 14th November 2016
