Personal service - a rare thing today.

Leon and (earlier) his female colleagues made the process of moving from one deal to its replacement very clear. Good phone manner, no hiding behind IT. Traditional personal service. Happy client Reviewed on: 26th June 2024

Best mortgage company we have ever dealt with..

We have our mortgage with Saffron, we need to move as they can’t help us with our renewal but we wish they could, excellent company, human interaction with the loveliest of staff, this is something you don’t get elsewhere and it will be missed. Excellent customer service, I would have no hesitation in recommending Saffron and we will use them again as soon as we can for our mortgage. Reviewed on: 26th June 2024
