I have had quite a journey with Saffron & the fire cladding safety works affecting my eligibility for a loan. Throughout the arduous process I found Lisa & Kim so calm, supportive & really clarified things for me & put me at ease with their approach. Also thank you to Saffron Building Society as a whole for supporting us during this whole cladding nightmare. Reviewed on: 9th June 2025

Just wanted to say a big thank you to you, Kim was incredibly kind and helpful in walking me through the Saffron Building website.

Took such a long time to get through the hoops of getting the mortgage in the first place, relevant paperwork we supplied kept running out of date and we had to keep starting again- we nearly lost the property. In fact, it was only when we told our agent to forget it and find another lender that you approved our application immediately. Reviewed on: 5th June 2025
