Exellent customer service

Exellent customer service - I had some pretty dumb questions about my offset mortgage account, but your fantastic customer service representative, Gillian Collard, was patient, highly professional and explained everything perfectly. Absolutely faultless! Reviewed on: 30th April 2025

I spoke at length with Louise regarding the probability of me moving home and porting my mortgage to the new property. My overall experience was excellent and the information I was provided with was clear and easy to understand. I would like to compliment Louise for her friendly attitude whilst maintaining her level of professionalism. Reviewed on: 9th May 2025
