We were discriminated against by Santander

1
We came to the end of a 5 year fixed term mortgage with Barclays. We have a LTV ratio of over 60% and perfect credit scores having never missed a payment. Our mortgage advisor recommended switching to a Santander product, so we applied. They certainly gave us the run around, asking for more and more evidence of income, identity etc, which I found odd given our history, it felt like they were treating us as first time buyers. Then, after months of back and forth they decided to withdraw their offer simply because our household income includes a disability allowance for me as I'm severely disabled. This was pure discrimination. I'm furious that they'd let us pay our mortgage advisor, been through about 4 hours of interviews and sent countless pages of paperwork only to tell us this at the end. So we've been through all of that to stay with out current mortgage provider! Reviewed on: 26th June 2026

We remortgaged our house.

We remortgaged our house. The process was very easy. All the information requested was easy to find and made sense, not like other providers. The process was easy because you caould call people for advice. Reviewed on: 14th June 2026

We decided to port our mortgage, everything was going fine. We received our mortgage offer, 2 days later they started asking for more information. This put us in a very embarrassing situation with our purchase. I tried to complain and spoken to a woman who was so rude and unhelpful with no understanding. They clearly aren’t bothered and do not value their customers. Very very poor customer service to there clients who have had a mortgage with them for years!! Reviewed on: 5th June 2026

DO NOT USE THESE.

1
DO NOT USE THESE. If I could give ZERO then I would.I’ve been waiting over 4 weeks for a simple porting of my mortgage as they told me supposedly. I’ve had to scan about 20 things over and even after that they don’t contact me back. I’ve chased and chased and chased. Managers won’t speak to you. The underwriters basically can do what they want as slowly as they want as no one can speak to a manager to get anything done. Nearly 5 weeks I’ve been waiting for an answer, I’m being chased by solicitors, by estate agents, I’m holding up a chain and all they can say after an hour on the phone is you cannot speak to a manager as that’s not how we work and I can put a note and someone will come back to you within 2 WORKING DAYS!!!! They are absolutely useless. DO NOT USE!!!!!! Reviewed on: 27th May 2026
