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
