Tracy was very patient and worked out what the problem was. I have had a number of problems logging in as I do not often need to. It looks like the problem is that my autofil of password etc had got corrupted but it was not visible to me. It means that I need to manually input the login information. That should be OK.

I booked an appointment with Louise, a new business representative at 9.30 am this morning to discuss our mortgage requirements. I received a call, almost exactly on time and she explained how the appointment would progress. Her telephone manner and attention to detail was excellent and I certainly felt at ease giving her our financial and private information. Overall a great experience. Read more Read less

I was supported and advised by Serena throughout the process, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was always patient, considerate and incredibly helpful. There are a lot of questions to work through and, at times, it can be difficult to understand exactly what everything means. Serena took the time to explain things clearly, never made me feel rushed, and was excellent at making what could have felt quite complicated much easier to understand. She was a fantastic ambassador for the organisation, and I’m genuinely very grateful for all of her support. Thank you, Serena! Read more Read less
