Review of the Vernon Building Society, Mortgages:

No nonsense, straight to the point.

No nonsense, straight to the point. Staff always pleasant and ready to help. Always get an appointment to suit ourselves. The opening times could be better I.e. weekends not everybdy can make weekdays as they have to work too. So Saturdays would be better if they could open. Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

Its great to pick up the phone not to be held in a queue at some awful call centre and to be able to speak to a helpful and knowledgeable person Reviewed on: 1st February 2019

Convoluted and lengthy process

Eight weeks (Xmas in between) since first application. Mortgage approved but still no date for receipt of funds. Joint solicitor chasing you today. Jo Torkington a delight to deal with. Surveyor's fee (reduced on appeal from £800 to £620) for valuation-only (not Home Buyers' report) outrageously uncompetitive against others (eg Nationwide) who advertise and will effect with no charge to applicant.
