    I have used them recently and they have quite a quick turn around compared to other lenders.

    They only lend within a certain area - South East plus Home counties... you are within this?

    They have some good rates at 80% LTV and sensible service (very few lenders are anything other than slow currently)

    Their Geography Map dips into South Cambridgeshire and East Wiltshire - otherwise strictly South East only.

    thanks for the feedback. I am within the right geography.
    Will proceed with the application and see how it goes.
    cheers
  • Any update at all? We're thinking of going with metro bank for our mortgage but the lack of reviews online are making us unsure! Our main concern is speed!
