Vernon Building Society Mortgages reviews (515)

Highly recommend - excellent service and very helpful staff

5
I never write reviews - good or bad ones, but I feel like I must write this review for The Vernon because they've been brilliant with me as a customer., and their staff are wonderful and deserve all the praise. I have been a mortgage customer for 3 years now, and this is my first mortgage. Each time I've ever been in contact with their staff I've always received excellent customer service and they have gone above and beyond to answer my queries, get back to me promptly and offer advice and guidance as needed.. On top of that, in a market where rates are ever changing, I do believe I've been offered a brilliant product from The Vernon, and would not get the same deal or same care elsewhere. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who's looking for excellent customer care, and competitive products. Reviewed on: 11th July 2023

Professional, friendly and efficient

I asked Vernon Building Society if I could raise some money on my mortgage to undertake building work on our house (installing energy efficient measures such as insulation and an air source heat pump). From start to finish they were professionally thorough (without being unnecessarily demanding) and I felt very well looked after as there was always a point of contact if I had any questions. The whole process was quicker than I expected – they were very efficient. Using a small building society such as the Vernon means they understand you on a human level and even if you don't tick all the boxes (I'm self employed so it was a bit more complicated) they are flexible and see the whole picture. Overall very happy with the service received. Reviewed on: 6th June 2023

We managed to use income projections from a client towards affordability, as the client had seen a large uplift in income year on year since covid, which was very bespoke and managed to get us where we needed to be Reviewed on: 13th March 2023
