Clear, concise and friendly

Lisa (and Kim previously) were both incredibly helpful and patient whilst describing my options. They were clear, concise and friendly. Got through to customer services quickly without having to speak to any robots Reviewed on: 26th August 2025

Customer service is second to none. The interest rate seems to be a little higher than the market average Reviewed on: 23rd August 2025

When the going gets tough - shout for the 'Sleeper'!

5
I haven't actually used Saffrons services as such, I tend to just make enquiries as a third-party on behalf of my elderly mums mortgage queries etc. I've answered the prelinary questions as well as I could though but I have to say the help I have received from Anne Sleeper has been second-to-none. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble for her - she has even gone above and beyond (last year) to give me ideas of which organisations to try for a new boiler / new windows that my mum has desperately needed in order to keep her warm. It is the help from Anne alone that means I would recommend the services of Saffron to others, and gladly so. Front-line / customer service staff are so important to a company and Anne seems to be a very good Ambassador of Saffron BS. Thank you! Reviewed on: 22nd August 2025
