Santander Mortgage reviews (175)

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

Avoid, unable to talk to customer service

Constantly calling and messaging, after 3 months still not managed to speak to a member of staff despite escalating to complaints. Reviewed on: 13th October 2022

Avoid!!!

Their rates are now 6.8%!!! I tried to renew a few weeks back on 3.7% but due to their systems being down I wasn’t able to. Now I am being told I have no option but to renew on 6.8% due to my situation which means I have to sell my home! They lie. And they just so happen to loose the recording proving I tried to renew on 3.7%. They are crooks! Reviewed on: 10th October 2022

RIP OFF

Santander charging 5.95 '/, Already Reviewed on: 28th September 2022

A true disgrace

The lawyer Integrar they use is a total disgrace and make Santander mortgages impossible. There is no way i shall use them again. Stay well away if you want a mortgage processed in anything less than 3 months Reviewed on: 15th September 2022

Mortgage review

Don’t try applying for a mortgage with this company. Despite having banked with them for 5 years, they still refused to accept evidence of my address. Completely useless. Reviewed on: 14th August 2022

Short mortgage offer and product fee not refunded

Santander only offered 5 months mortgage (so no good when buying a new build). Better interest rate shopping elsewhere (E.g. Halifax) as offer expired and do not refund on £999 "product fee" - Beware! Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

Wonderful

They have always been straight forward, quick to respond and great at keeping me informed Reviewed on: 20th July 2022

My Santander creditcard is blocked

My Santander creditcard was block 8-days ago. I went to the branch to show my passport and proof of income the next day. I was told the card will be unblocked within 48-hours. I have been calling their customer services twice a day for over a week. It takes 30-60 minutes wait time plus 30 minutes if the call is transferred to another department. The calls were also disconnected many times. Every time I call, the customer services said sit back and keep an eye on your mobile and wait for a call back for their security team. Santander creditcard department is one of the worst to help customers. I have applied for another creditcard today. Please don't waste time with Santander. Reviewed on: 27th April 2022

Time wasters

My entire mortgage experience with Santander was awful... Took them 9 weeks to get my mortgage application done, very poor communication and openly discriminated against maternity leave. It was shocked at how bad the entire service was. I have never had this to deal with for past mortgages I have had, I would not recommend at all Reviewed on: 21st April 2022
