Never had any issues with Saffron Building Society, always able to get through to someone who can answer query or assist. I have accounts across various other institutions and they could all do with taking a leaf out of Saffrons' book Reviewed on: 5th September 2024

Unsatisfactory

For the first 5 years my mortgage was fixed at a competitive rate , it has now shot up dramatically. I’m looking for a new mortgage provider right now and will pay this off as soon as I’ve signed the new mortgage . If Saffron cared about their clients they should have contacted me to possibly offer me a market related interest rate on my current mortgage and kept me on as a customer. The only contact I’ve had is this email asking me to rate their services! Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Not great as First Time Buyers!

In all honesty, we had an awful experience with Saffron Building Society as first time buyers. We found that they asked for the strangest documentation in order to finalise our mortgage - including my partners CV???? Once we had satisfied their requests, they then came back with further ridiculous queries, some of which was not relevant to our purchase whatsoever. I have worked in estate agency for 10 years and have never come across a lender with such awkward requests, which ultimately delayed our completion. Purchasing a property for the first time should be an exciting experience but all we endured was stress. I will however say that the customer service representative I spoke to on the online chat service (after we had completed) was helpful and polite - but unfortunately this isn’t enough to have altered our decision not to use them again in the future.
