Re-mortgage for a pensioner couple

Vernon provided remortgage finance when all larger lenders turned us down as they refused to consider the regular income I take from my ISA alongside my pension. Omly criticism was their over-zealous approach to other (rental) income Reviewed on: 26th November 2019

Reply from Vernon Building Society Thank you for your feedback Stephen. We are so glad that we were able to help you where other lenders could not. Response date: 26th November 2019

Best mortgage lender

We had used a few local lenders and were fed up with the service and cost when I saw the Vernon advertised in the Radio Times (I believe). We never looked back. Great service and good value. Reviewed on: 20th November 2019

Reply from Vernon Building Society What a great story Teresa, we love to hear about the different ways our customers find us! Thank you for the feedback. Response date: 21st November 2019

Very Helpfull

We are both of state pension age. Our mortgage is interest only and was nearing its end. Our lender at the time was not interested in extending our mortgage. Vernon were approached and with a few checks offered us a mortgage. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Reviewed on: 20th November 2019

Reply from Vernon Building Society Thank you Melvyn, we are glad to hear that we could help you where others could not. Response date: 21st November 2019

Surperb customer service!

From my first interactions with the Vernon their staff were perfect examples of how customer service should be. Individual and sincere - nothing was too much trouble and the problems inevitably encountered were dealt with efficiently and clearly by people who genuinely care about their customers. Reviewed on: 20th November 2019

1st stop for local mortgages

Our family have lived in Stockport for 60 years and The Vernon is always our first port of call for mortgages and savings. Support your local bank ! Reviewed on: 20th November 2019

Reply from Vernon Building Society That's great to hear Harry! We have been serving the Stockport community since 1924 and are glad to have you as a member. Response date: 21st November 2019

Great family feel for specialist mortgage

We have used Vernon for a specialist self build mortgage and found them to be very helpful. It’s great to have a bank where you can call up and speak to person in the office and not a generic call centre in another country. Reviewed on: 20th November 2019

Reply from Vernon Building Society Hi Philip, thank you for this brilliant review. We are glad to hear you found us helpful and our employees are always by the phone if you need us again! Response date: 21st November 2019

Excellent

I like the customer service and the help with my mortgage from my branch advisor Tracey Reviewed on: 19th November 2019

Helpful

Perhaps more outlets, later (and earlier) opening times. Although I am quite satisfied with the status quo. Reviewed on: 14th November 2019
