Review of the Santander, Mortgage:

Easy to use website

I use the site a lot to review my mortgage and they seem to keep adding new functions. Any company is difficult to get through to on the phone, so using online facilities helps. I like the way you can use a debit card now to pay off some of your mortgage now, much easier than ringing in! Reviewed on: 13th March 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.

Mortgage

Good product. No concerns. Easy to use online Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Mortgage up by £550 a month

Had to move from fixed to a tracker which is the cheapest option and is still £550 a month more than before. Now paying £2200 a month repayment and only about £1000 of it is actually paying off the mortgage so I guess I’m just paying rent to the bank too? I’m locked in with a £999 product fee so can’t move when the fixed prices inevitably fall without taking the hit again. Reviewed on: 28th February 2023

Looking good

The fixed rate term is coming to an end and I am looking to pay off the mortgage rather than move to another deal or go onto a variable rate. The information I was given suggests that this will be an easy process - not what I was expecting! Reviewed on: 26th February 2023

Magnificent!!

My partner and I purchased our first home last year with the help of a Santandar mortgage. Working with Santandar was speedy, easy, and reliable, and I am over the moon with their service. Reviewed on: 25th February 2023

Good until fixed term ended

I understand that all mortgage products are the same at the moment but we're with santander and the interest has gone up over 4% over the last 6 months making repayments almost unaffordable Reviewed on: 23rd February 2023

Disaster

My morrgage was up for renewal from 2nd of January. Before renewing I wanted to make an overpayment and then renew the mortgage. Santander do not deal with mortgages in their branches so the only way to renew is over the phone or through the banking App. Phone banking is a complete nightmare with long waiting being cut off and having to phone again and wait again hours of time wasting....the banking App does not function properly and you have to wait days/weeks for updates. I made £33,000 overpayment but my outstanding balance increased from £298,000 to £370,000 all they said is wait for the account to update...I wanted to pay another overpayment but none of the mortgage advisors could calculate how this would effect my mortgage. It took until mid February for my mortgage account to update by then interest rates had gone up they offered me £100 for the compensation of all faults occured nothing for the extra rate increase. They are not interested in resolving problems, phone banking hours waiting, branches not interested. Complete disaster I have reported them to The Ombudsman will take it as far as I can...stay away!
