Great

Fantastic service. Great local and friendly people. Reviewed on: 14th January 2020

Caring efficiency from staff who we have known by name over 30 years.. Fantastic!!

Flecible service over 30 years: First took out a mortgage with Vernon BS in 1988, which became a joint morgage when I married, then increased to buy a larger property. Later paid off a lump sum after a windfall, then increased mortgage again for an even larger property. Buy to let mortgage in 1997 to purchase a rental property. Paid off lump sums from pension payments. Thanks to all at Vernon, St Petergate, Stockport!! Reviewed on: 13th January 2020

Personal and helpful

I was surprised when I called up and asked and met with ‘i remember speaking to you before’. Small helpful and very friendly team. Flexible and were able to help shuffle my mortgage stage release payments to help with my cash flow which was amazing Reviewed on: 8th January 2020

Personal

Approachable, knowledgeable and helpful. Always provide the perfect product for our circumstances. Reviewed on: 19th December 2019

Reply from Vernon Building Society Three great words to describe the service we provide Evelyn! Thank you for leaving this lovely review. Response date: 15th January 2020

Truly personal service.

I accompanied my daughter to a couple of meetings when she was starting to look at buying a flat. She had a "help to buy ISA" which really helped, and the additional Vernon bonus was another plus. The service and advice received was exemplary, and you helped to guide a novice through the whole process. You also really worked hard to get the mortgage approved, when she had already had 2 other bigger societies respond with "computer says no". She is now happily installed in her flat, thanks to the Vernon! Reviewed on: 18th December 2019

Reply from Vernon Building Society Our personal underwriters remove the chance of 'computer says no' and we are so happy to hear that this helped your daughter buy her flat. Even better, she had the assistance of the Help to Buy ISA savings account! Thank you for leaving this lovely review Tina. Response date: 18th December 2019

Excellent service

Recently ported' our mortgage and had excellent service with a personal advisor all through the process. Hitches solved quickly. So different from the main mortgage providers- who pass you from pillar to post to solve issues. Thoroughly recommended Reviewed on: 17th December 2019

Reply from Vernon Building Society Hello Helen. It's so great to hear that you found our service to be excellent and would recommend us to others. Thank you for this kind review! Response date: 17th December 2019

Excellent Customer Service with a friendly attitude.

The Vernon contacted us to advise which loyalty schemes were on offer when our current deal was due to expire and were happy to discuss which one suited our circumstances the best. The process after that was simplicity itself. We have already recommended The Vernon to friends and family. Reviewed on: 16th December 2019

Reply from Vernon Building Society Hi Richard, thank you for leaving this kind review. We are so pleased that you found our process simple and for your recommendation of the Vernon itself. We hope that your new scheme treats you well and appreciate your continued custom. Response date: 17th December 2019
