terrific mortgage building society

Can't fault them, a tiny bit slow due to the complex case of needing a contractors mortgage and it being paperbased, but apart from that really really impressed throughout, would recommend Vernon to anyone and to add a nice touch they deliver you have thank you pack with some food/treats and a card when you move in, never had that from any bank or building society before!

Only problem was in trying to communicate by email. Am used to doing things online but eventually had to give up. Reviewed on: 24th September 2020

Lucy Burnside has been absolutely wonderful

Myself and my partner are purchasing our first home and Lucy has been there for us every step of the way. I expected applying for a mortgage to be a very stressful process (especially in the current climate) but I can honestly say that Lucy has been such a calming force, and has been incredibly helpful, communicative and friendly the entire way through. I really could not recommend Lucy, and the Vernon, enough. Thank you so much Lucy! Reviewed on: 21st September 2020

Reply from Vernon Building Society It's fantastic to hear such nice stories about one of our advisors, and without tooting our own horn too much, it doesn't surprise me that you've had such a good experience with Lucy! She'll be thrilled to hear such nice words. Thank you Sophie, I'm glad we were able to give you such good service! Mark Response date: 5th October 2020

Static (in difficult times)

We have lodged our complaint with you expressing our strong dissappointment that you have not reduced monthly payments since the BOE base rate went to .25%. Loyal customers deserve better treatment. Reviewed on: 18th September 2020
