Our mortgage is with Vernon and they were very helpful as it was our first mortgage and needed lots of advice! Their rates were competitive and we have been very happy with the service Reviewed on: 13th January 2026

Great experience

I'm self-employed and as such the mortgage route is a slightly different process, Vernon made the experience very smooth and were very quick to respond to any questions. Reviewed on: 13th January 2026

The VBS has provided us with a mortgage product.

The VBS has provided us with a mortgage product that many other banks and building societies have not. They have always ensured that we get good rates and products as their range has developed. They are particularly helpful and attentive to detail Reviewed on: 13th January 2026

Pleased to have chosen Vernon for our new BTL venture

4
Very good start to the process with Jack Mottershead very responsive and supportive. Pretty smooth all through with questions answered quickly by the support team too. Negatives: some of the requirements seemed biased towards a retail mortgage rather than a commercial BTL loan, so to me were strange, as if one-size-fits-all on paperwork. I'm disappointed that you can't choose to set the monthly mortgage payment to a higher 'static' amount and pay off principal on a drip-feed basis: appreciate you can make £1k minimum, but i prefer to accelerate repayment by starting low and eating into loan principal monthly so the repayment amount starts to increase by pennies but on a compound basis.. Lower rate would have been nice: had a lower rate option (even allowing for fees over a fixed term basis) but decided to stay with Vernon given customer support in the early stages and kept fingers crossed that nothing went wrong laterly... luckily it didn't.

Professional and open

At our older age, my wife and I were delighted to receive our re-mortgage offer, which has allowed us to send our granddaughter to university. An investment in more ways than one! When I needed to contact Vernon on the telephone, my call was answered promptly and in a very pleasant and welcoming manner. Reviewed on: 8th December 2025
