Best mortgage company we have ever dealt with..

5
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

I had a very good experience with the retention team for switching my product. First experience was with Leon who was friendly and informative and went through the details about why he has recommended this product to me and secondly with Lisa in the absence of Leon who has been friendly and also aware of my situation and help me solved it quickly.

Application to extend mortgage refused

Your representative was very helpful but was constrained by your ridiculous policy regarding affordability I applied to extend my mortgage by two years I currently have a pension pot of £250000 but because I drawdown it apparently only equates to £9K pa income I draw down £6K per month Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

Accomodating Lender

I've got a mortgage from Saffron. It did take some time due to the complexity of the loan but the staff was very accommodating and helpful. Reviewed on: 30th May 2024

Good on day to day stuff

On day to day interactions the service personnel have always been very helpful. I was less impressed however with the assistance I received when looking at refinancing the mortgage. Reviewed on: 30th May 2024

My view of Saffron BS

5
The staff are excellent and it is great to be able to talk to a person direct. It also helps that the calls are not dealt with by a overseas call centre. Saffron offer an excellent service but you do have to accept paying slightly higher costs for this. Reviewed on: 30th May 2024
