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
