Review of the Vernon Building Society, Mortgages:

complex income mortgage

5
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

Great Service & Customer Care

5
As a first time buyer with a self build mortgage on a renovation (could I tick any more tedious boxes) the Vernon were I think the only company who would offer me a mortgage! Covid happened, we had delays & they were fantastic, patient & approachable. As they’re a smaller company I could always be sure I’d be able to speak to someone on the phone if needed. I didn’t hesitate to remortgage with them once i had completed our build & the remortgage was a straight forward, quick & painless process. Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

Customer service is great.

5
Customer service is great. When I called to organise a regular over-payment on my mortgage the phone was answered by a real human, not an automated 'press 1 press 2'. My query was dealt with quickly by a friendly member of the team. Can't fault them. Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

Simple, straightforward personalised service with a real person. My mortgage was tailored to my Personal circumstances not a one size fits all or computer generated product. The personal touch makes all the difference. Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

trying to find a mortgage when you are getting old

5
trying to find a mortgage when you are getting old is disturbingly complex and often leads nowhere. But Vernon accepted immediately and, realising my pension is £10.000 a month and continues even after my death, Vernon accepted very quickly. I was up and running in a very short time. Since then I have been amazed and satisfied with Vernon's non-bureaucratic and thus speedy management of my case. Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

Excellent

When contacting Vernon Building Society, all the staff I have spoken to have been very helpful and pleasant regarding my issue. Excellent service, many thanks. Reviewed on: 19th March 2024
