Hard work, changing criteria and ZERO flexibility Hard work (which isn't an issue), however the changing of criteria is hard to stomach. Also the speed they do things is mind blowing, rather than aski... Read more Reviewed on: 18th December 2024

Mortgage payment changes ..

We asked if we could have a mortgage break due to unexpected circumstances with my husband's health, and we mutually agreed to pay interest only for 6 months, whilst we release some equity from the house to pay off the mortgage balance. Reviewed on: 29th April 2024

Online accounts

I like to be able to access my account online. It's unbelievable that you don't have access to such a system. Reviewed on: 26th April 2024

Extremely dissatisfied

I am very disappointed in the service provided to me when coming into difficulties with a change of name for sole proprietor purposes for my mortgage. The bank was not willing to consider a UK citizen residing in the United States to take over part of the mortgage to allow me to keep the property and the competitive rate. I don’t believe the bank has done everything in their power to help genuine working class people to keep hold of their livelihood after working hard to attain this. Reviewed on: 25th April 2024

Saffron BS made fair offer

Saffron BS made fair offer of a second two year fix after my existing fix expires thus saving me from having to pay the higher variable rate. Prompt service and follow up when I delayed responding due to holiday absence. Reviewed on: 9th April 2024

Home! my biggest investment, me security-Saffron BS.

Saffron staff were happy to answer questions. Real people on the telephone, brilliant! The willingness to help spoke volumes. I had a 5 year fixed and now I have a 2 year fixed. I started working at 17 to supplement University needs such as field trips. My views on many aspects shifted and I quickly saw how hard life is. By the time I gained my second Masters Degree in Biochemistry I had decided it was time to develop my teaching ambitions and the thought of property ownership - and a home for retirement security down the line became a factor. I executed my plan, gained a teaching degree/ DfE registered! and QTS, and applied for a mortgage shortly after accepting my first secondary school teaching post. I am now looking forward to becoming mortgage free asap. Saffron understand that my home is my biggest investment, and also that it is my security. The staff I spoke with did not mince their words and explained options and product ranges in a manner I could make sense of. Reviewed on: 5th April 2024

We remortgaged with Saffron before the 2008 Crash.

We remortgaged with Saffron before the 2008 Crash. We were looking for a proper mortgage rather than 2-year 'products' that ex-building societies were offering. The rate was based on the bank rate and as bank rates fell Saffron waived the collar, and I will be forever grateful that they did. It helped us through some difficult times. I felt that we were in a partnership, and that is what the best of the building societies used to offer. Reviewed on: 5th April 2024

always friendly and helpful .

always friendly and helpful . also help with explaining where i am financially which i really like and need as I'm rubbish at that. Reviewed on: 4th April 2024

A Light in the Darkness

After Nat West tried to double our mortgage payments and refused to extend our current mortgage deal, despite never having missed a payment, and then Santander prevaricated and were making us jump through hoops, we came across Saffron. Within days we had an agreement in principal, followed very quickly by a mortgage offer with a better deal than we had with our initial Nat West mortgage. Highly recommended.
