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

2
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
