Fantastic service but think it could have been made better by focusing more of the return documentation through a digital service rather than by post. This would have sped up the process tenfold. Reviewed on: 6th September 2023

I was porting a mortgage and adding another loan to move to a new property. There were many errors along the way including incorrect charges, incorrect t's and c's being sent out and overly prescriptive conditions. We got there in the end though. Reviewed on: 6th September 2023
