Wood for the Trees

Finding a lender with the vision to spot a good opportunity without the blinkered constraints of most high street lenders is rare indeed – Vernon is flexible enough to see a winning proposition and act on it to the advantage of all parties. A breath of fresh air, thanks Vernon. Richard Crossman, Dorset. Reviewed on: 21st January 2019

My Mortage Experience with Vernons - Louise Banks

5
The resaon for my review is largely down to Lucy Burnside who epitomised great customer service in every aspect of my mortgage application. The stress involved in my application, which was under difficult circumstances, was completely mitigated by the customer service I received. Emails were responded to immediately. Conversations were acted upon and followed up by the reassurance of an email or further telephone call as needed. The friendliness and care extended to me by Vernon's and specifically Lucy made me feel like a person Vernon's cared about rather than did a business deal with. I would thoroughly recommend this as an all round excellent service. Thank you. Reviewed on: 21st January 2019

REAL Personal Service

Able to speak with well informed personnel who are very polite and who have the time to explain everything to you. Nothing is too much trouble and their commitment to customers is second to none. Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Retirement mortgages from the Vernon give choice to older people in a very limited market.

5
Having the ability to find a mortgage product at the Vernon which makes mortgage borrowing possible at 70 or over has been a real lifeline. The possibility of carrying on being an independent homeowner with affordable payments has taken a lot of worry away. The service from the staff has been clear and professional. Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Excellent service

Great service

5
The service exceeded my expectations. They were helpful, friendly and did exactly what they said they would. They returned calls when they said they would. And completed my mortgage speedily and efficiently. Service that is sadly unusual these days. I have already recommended them more than once. 10/10. Reviewed on: 11th January 2019
