Review of the Saffron Building Society, Mortgages:

The mortgage process was inefficient and laborious

2
The process to open an expat buy to let mortgage with you was horrible. The requirements kept changing or being added to. We weren’t able to speak directly with you, which feels incredibly impersonal and just added even more to the inefficiency of it all, meaning any question took a week to answer. For the amount of money we paid you in fees, we should have had the direct dial of a liaison that helped manage the whole process. After finally getting the mortgage, I spoke to someone to get the online account open and they were extremely helpful, what a contrast! Reviewed on: 5th August 2024

All my phone calls about the mortgage have been dealt with in a very friendly, professional and helpful manner, although Kim was particularly brilliant today. I just wish the interest rates were a bit more competitive! Reviewed on: 13th March 2025
