Good product but poor systems

4
I am very pleased with my mortgage product but recently a system error put my payment up when it should have gone down. Reviewed on: 2nd December 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

THE MOST stressful experience

1
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

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.
