Santander Mortgage reviews (175)

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

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!

Good deal , excellent customer service

I have been with Santander for nearly 40 years and always enjoyed unrivalled service. I recently wrapped up my mortgage after selling my home and the advisors I spoke to couldn't have been any more helpful and courteous. I would not bank elsewhere due to the service which is consistently offered. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Never helpful, always issues

I've had several products with Santander over the years and this will be my last one. Staff are rude and only care if you are super wealthy. The palmed off the sorting of our mortgage to another company who were so poor Santander had to extend our completion date twice as they were going so slowly. When consulting on a new bank account with them the member of staff would only talk to my partner and ignored me as I am female. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Excellence from start to finish

The whole process of getting a mortgage was very straightforward and easy. Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Avoid, Avoid, Avoid!

Please avoid this bank! They are a complete nightmare! Applied for mortgage only 40% of house asking price as we have 60% of deposit. They are giving us the complete run around. Conversation I had yesterday with them was them telling me to rent close to the area we want to buy a house, and then apply for mortgage!! Doesn’t matter that we are transferring our jobs (with our employers) apparently we have to transfer, rent and then apply!! Oh to top it off, FIND A NEW HOUSE TO BUY!! Reviewed on: 23rd October 2022
