Can't fault them

I have long had a fantastic experience with Santander Mortgages. I have fell on hard times in the past and they have been nothing but helpful. Can't fault them. Reviewed on: 5th June 2019

Santander Remortgage - Appalling

1
Started our mortgage review on 29 March 18 and the amounts and decisions keep changing from the mortgage advisor to the underwriting, had to change from repayment to interest only back and forth each stage takes 5 days, it is now 2 May 19 and still do not have a decision. With all the technology available and after several 40 minutes telephone calls, that the next steps takes over 10 days. The next chase up call I have been advised that due to Easter they are running 2 days late so 7 working days then next stage., Reviewed on: 2nd May 2019

Awful service

1
We initially had no problems not until we remortgaged and despite doubling our income over 5 years Santander would not let us remortgage for anymore when we wanted to move home. It seems they penalize you severely for having one child even though they are in school. They have no mortgage advisers in branch either. Reviewed on: 23rd April 2019

Better mortgage and service than I have known friends to receive from other banks. Reviewed on: 14th December 2018

No customer service

1
I ended up with Santander because I had the mortgage when I was married. Trying to extend my leasehold, they demanded I use their lawyer and pay for theirs and mine as well. Customer service sucks. I would really spend more to get more elsewhere. BEWARE. Reviewed on: 12th December 2018
