Re-mortgage for a pensioner couple

4
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

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

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

Surperb customer service!

5
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.

Great family feel for specialist mortgage

5
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
