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

Review of the Saffron Building Society, Mortgages:

THE MOST stressful experience

Was THE MOST stressful experience caused by incompetence, delays caused us to pay more money, any commissioned you received should have been zoid! Apart from 1 individual who tried their very best to help us, I have never dealt with such a disorganised lender. Even our solicitor is who deals with 100s of cases said Saffron were the worst she'd ever had the displeasure to deal with! Says a lot really. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

Transfer from one product to another

I was hoping for a definitive response to my question about what products I might be able to transfer to once the current product expires but was informed this was time sensitive and I would have to wait until January for an answer. Reviewed on: 2nd December 2024

Welcoming and supportive

Saffron has been welcoming and supportive. The staff are are friendly and very efficient and the whole experience has been like joining a family of like minded people. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

Useless too slow no knowledge of customer service and still waiting for a reply Reviewed on: 20th November 2024

Efficient, helpful, lovely staff.

Saffron building society have given us our self build mortgage. When we want to access more money we fill out a form, send photos and book a valuation. We've done this 3 times so far and each time our emails are answered very quickly, valuation company phone quickly afterwards and it's just a very straightforward, efficient process with really lovely helpful staff.

Great, nice and easy mortgage provider

Kim was great, looked into my file and updated the necessary details. Reviewed on: 7th November 2024

Customer Experience

Overall extremely slow - it took several (on average 5) before anything sent to you was even looked at never mind actioned. This gave rise to a very poor and stressful customer experience. And then there was delay at your end setting up the DD - resulting in a warning letter from your collections department! Not a good introduction to Saffron. Reviewed on: 7th November 2024
