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

Helpful, friendly, responsive

The team at Vernon are always quick to respond, and are very helpful. They are happy to look at properties that are a bit unusual, so you are not faced with a "computer says no" scenario. They take the time to understand the situation and come up with a proposal that is tailored. Reviewed on: 14th November 2019

We've had our mortgage with Vernon BS for over 30 years, during which time we have borrowed, paid off some capital, borrowed to get a bigger house, borrowed to buy a rental property and have just reduced the capital a little more as we are nearing retirement. Always fantastic service and from long-standing staff. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!! Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

App to offer fantastic, offer to completion poor

The number of items that were requested were onerous and too much, my solicitor received numerous pages of requests, the app to offer was about 2 weeks and it was over 3 months to complete. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

We are sorry to hear that you have had a less positive experience when in the offer to completion stage. We have passed your feedback to the relevant team who have committed to reviewing the process to ensure we are providing the best customer experience possible. If you wish to discuss this further please call us on 0161 429 6262 and we will be more than happy to discuss this further. Thank you for your valuable feedback. Response date: 12th November 2019
