Sound advice, honest & friendly. Reviewed on: 30th November 2022

Thorough and caring mortgage advice

Maureen explained everything extremely thoroughly. She tailored her advice to my situation and ensured that I understood all the ins and outs, and was happy at every stage. She ensured that the mortgage we were discussing would work for my circumstances. Thank you! Reviewed on: 30th September 2020

Lucy Burnside has been absolutely wonderful

Myself and my partner are purchasing our first home and Lucy has been there for us every step of the way. I expected applying for a mortgage to be a very stressful process (especially in the current climate) but I can honestly say that Lucy has been such a calming force, and has been incredibly helpful, communicative and friendly the entire way through. I really could not recommend Lucy, and the Vernon, enough. Thank you so much Lucy! Reviewed on: 21st September 2020

Reply from Vernon Building Society It's fantastic to hear such nice stories about one of our advisors, and without tooting our own horn too much, it doesn't surprise me that you've had such a good experience with Lucy! She'll be thrilled to hear such nice words. Thank you Sophie, I'm glad we were able to give you such good service! Mark Response date: 5th October 2020

Static (in difficult times)

We have lodged our complaint with you expressing our strong dissappointment that you have not reduced monthly payments since the BOE base rate went to .25%. Loyal customers deserve better treatment. Reviewed on: 18th September 2020

Don't always believe

Money tooken for house valuation and it is our fault that we didn't wait for the answer first. But customer advisor was saying "no need to woried all should be okay, all looks good". Declined because of that there is gaps for last 4 years working (it is not true). Money for deposit are from student finance (Not true as well). Not even given a chance to prove that that it is not true. "You are in risk beacuse of Covid-19". So why giving a hope.. I do not recommended Reviewed on: 16th July 2020
