We first moved our mortgage to the Stafford when we moved house in 2016 and then stayed when we moved to our current home 3 years ago. Customer service has been superb throughout, always keeping us informed of changes in the rate and offering new fixed deals when a current one was due to end. Can’t praise you highly enough.

Decisions take an extremely long time, like even for a basic thing such as an updated mortgage offer. The Society then puts in place ridiculously draconian processes for completion such as submitting the latest payslip before completing and insisting on buildings insurance being in place.

I went into the branch this morning as last visit I left behind my passbook cover unfortunately. I asked Wendy and Debbie if they had a spare one. They looked hard but couldn’t see one and advised me to ask next time I’m in. I went on my way. They then left a message to say they had found one for me. I returned to the branch and was given one by Wendy and Debbie. They really went above and beyond. Thank you, I’m really grateful fir this. Read more Read less

    Friendly and pleasant.

    Friendly and pleasant. The new environment is modern and light and airy. I did like the old world charm of the previous design.
