Spoke with Kim about mortgage retention.

Spoke with Kim about mortgage retention. She was very helpful and made it so easy for me to understand the products available. She put my mind at rest. Reviewed on: 18th February 2026

Ex Pat BTL Mortgage

4
I went through a broker as I needed a specialist mortgage in my position. I had nothing to do with Saffron until the mortgage was finalised. Positives - They did drop down the interest rate as the government dropped it down after I had been approved and we were going thru the process. Negatives - The paperwork they needed seemed endless but maybe this is "normal" in the circumstances. Final Point - Since having the mortgage taken out and being in the portal and also having a query and sending a message thru the portal I have found it very easy to navigate and Lisa whom replied to my email was very polite and helpful. Have already recommended to people I know in the same circumstance as me. Reviewed on: 17th February 2026

Anne was able to help immediately with my enquiry regarding our mortgage arrangement. It's always nice to speak to somebody and have the right outcome without having to go through a lot of computer menus first. Reviewed on: 4th February 2026
