Review of the Santander, Mortgage:

I would give it to 0 if I could.

I would give it to 0 if I could. The experience is extremely awful, they are not professional at all. THEY DO NOT BOTHER TO CHECK YOR DOCUMENT AND JUST KEPT BOUNCING BACK AND SAID YOUR DOCUMENT IS NOT acceptable! Their employees do not even know how to check sharecode, just inform client and stated that the share code isn't working. Reviewed on: 6th November 2024

A really simple process with a personal touch

It was so easy to apply for a competitive rate from Santander - their communications was top notch and the cherry-on-the-top was a lovely gift sent to welcome me to my new home! Reviewed on: 19th December 2016

Helpful mortgage company

Their customer service is first class. They helped us in a very difficult life situation so that we could keep our home. I wouldn't ever change provider. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

low income earners

If you become a low income earner and you Mortgage tied up with "Santander Mafia" the only way they offer to help you is by HIKING your mortgage rate three times "the highest in the land", despite honouring all your payments and commitments to them and having less than 15% the value of my property borrowed from them. they using AFFORDABILITY clause to crucify the venerable knowing he have no options. " they would not dare do this to higher income earner" TO FUTURE "O.A.P": BEWARE OF SANTANDER AND SWITCH,they have no mercy or loyalty if you have small pension. Reviewed on: 30th October 2016

Carpetbaggers 0/10

If you are thinking of taking a mortgage with this bank, seriously reconsider. Don't just assess the rates and application process. Check out the long term reviews. I was one of the unfortunate customer's whose Abbey National account was taken over by this bank. I'm sorry I didn't switch provider at the time. Due to a change in financial circumstances I struggled at times to keep up to date with my mortgage, but always kept them informed - Well all I can say is they are the most callous, uncaring company I have ever had to deal with. Despite notifying them once again of my circumstances (a bereavement) and via regular I & E forms, they still chose to harrass me at a funeral , during medical treatment and charged me for 2 failed field visits and used my mobile number without permission. In addition. rather than award over payments to an outstanding debt, they just reduced the term of my loan thus keeping me in arrears so 'technically' I wasn't in arrears. I eventually secured long term , FT employment but unfortunately following a mistake by HMRC I was late again (by a few days) with an arranged payment, but paid in excess of the requested amount....but they still opted to pass my account over to their litigation team. To get away from this nasty, appalling company, I've decided to sell my house. However, despite my informing them of my sale, they have suggested court proceedings if I fail to make my monthly payment 8 days before my completion date! I've now had to bring my sale forward as their action would put the sale in jeopardy. I don't actually owe much on the mortgage, but clearly they are keen to get their hands on the property, which has substantial equity in it. Yes, Carpetbaggers would make a suitable strapline for this bank and their partners. You couldn't make it up...all I can say is AVOID...AVOID..AVOID. Reviewed on: 15th October 2016

Good experience

I have had a good experience with Santander mortgages. Have always got good fixes rates for a few years. There is also the benefit of getting cashback on the mortgage in your current account. Received good mortgage advice from Santander and good customer service. Reviewed on: 11th September 2016
