Thank you Saffron Building Society Team

I have had quite a journey with Saffron & the fire cladding safety works affecting my eligibility for a loan. Throughout the arduous process I found Lisa & Kim so calm, supportive & really clarified things for me & put me at ease with their approach. Also thank you to Saffron Building Society as a whole for supporting us during this whole cladding nightmare. Reviewed on: 9th June 2025

Thank You Kim!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to you, Kim was incredibly kind and helpful in walking me through the Saffron Building website. She explained the available products in such a clear and straightforward way. while the available products are on the pricier side compare to peer, Kim kindness and tone of voice made a big difference.

Took such a long time to get through the hoops of getting the mortgage in the first place, relevant paperwork we supplied kept running out of date and we had to keep starting again- we nearly lost the property. In fact, it was only when we told our agent to forget it and find another lender that you approved our application immediately. Reviewed on: 5th June 2025

Very Friendly, helpful service as always.

Very Friendly, helpful service as always. The only building society/bank where you can actually speak to a British person, who can help you without being transferred to 10 million different non english speaking random people who just pass you on to someone else. NOONE at Saffron has ever failed to help me and I am a pain, as I am always wanting to no someone. The ONLY challenging thing with Saffron is that I keep asking to have the info emailed to access the saffron APP but the email never arrives. No matter, because I can ring Saffron and be helped that way. Brilliant service - thank you all very much :-) Reviewed on: 4th June 2025
