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

Disgusting, untrustworthy company

1
Santander have dropped their mortgage offer to us. Despite this being a very low amount. Despite us having great financial ratings. They’ve made my wife very upset and I’m furious at them. Disgusting, untrustworthy company. Who are too greedy to hold their end of a 4.1% offer. Never use them. Reviewed on: 30th August 2023

"Process Aborted by Client" after receiving Offer

1
Did the application and received the mortgage offer, accepted it and started the process with Santander's (Optima) solicitors. After sending them all the documents required and confirming with the solicitors that they have everything to complete at set date. 7 days before this date I give them a call to confirm if we're all good to complete and they let me know the client Santander have aborted the process. I give Santander a call they tell me the mortgage was declined (this is after recieving offer and everything). Firstly how do they go about declining like that and secondly no one from Santander or their solicitors (Optima) got in touch with me to tell me the situation. Just appalling from all sides and has now made me completely hanging dry. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Diabolical

1
A couple weeks go by and the ask for a document. Another week passes another doc... Five weeks in.... you get the idea. With interest rates gone through the roof, if mortgage falls through I will no longer be in a position to buy at current interest rates. At very minimum, a cursory glance should've identified nearly all of the additional documentation required which would have sped up the process rather than prolonging a highly stressful process. If the mortgage does fall through, i'll ditch my Santander credit card. Reviewed on: 14th July 2023

Always on point

5
Been with Santander for many years. I always review alternatives when my fixed period comes to an end and they are always in point. They've retained my business for a long time and recommended them highly Reviewed on: 15th June 2023

Really great process , was fast and efficient Reviewed on: 3rd June 2023

Competitive mortgage, flexible mobile app

5
Very happy with my Santander mortgage, especially as their mobile app allows me to manage both regular and one-off overpayments with ease, meaning I don't have to use apps like Sprive. Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

Worst customer service ever

1
So many issues with poor customer service. Poor handling of remortgage meant they had to extend the completion date twice to complete our application. Hard to get hold of and poor app features. Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

Title deeds

Have requested my deeds 5 times,was told there would be a fee that was £250, I refused to pay it I have been told to download them.My property is 300yrs old so want the originals.On my last attempt I was told I can take a couple of months to send them to me,that was over 4 months ago and still waiting..I am disgusted that after been a loyal customer for 15yrs they can't even be bothered to carry out a single easy request.The top and bottom of it is they just can't be bothered and there attitude of we have made our money off you,now sod off.Wrll done Santander.
