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

I have heard people speak positively about the Vernon and when my financial adviser recommended them for my mortgage I was pleased to apply to our local building society. It met everything I wanted in terms of the product and the way the business was conducted. Thank you. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Our dealings with the Vernon have always been a pleasure. The staff will always "go that extra mile" to be helpful and explain appropriate procedures in an understandable way. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019
