We've been with Santander now for over 10 years (well Abbey before that but Santander owned Abbey anyway). They have been excellent the whole time & we now have the 123 account with them which earns us cashback.
Good luck0 -
My Santander mortgage was approved and in place within 3 weeks, would definitely recommend them.I have a simple philosophy:
Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

I used a broker to get a santandaer mortgage and it took around 4 weeks to get the approval. This was just before the new MMR legislation kicked in.
Can I also suggest that you look for a mortgage deal where the lender pays for your property valuation fees instead of charging you extra money for it. FYI - the property valuation was done within the 4 weeks I mentioned above and we got approval after the property valuation.Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard.
Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard. Choose your hard.
Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Choose your hard.
Communication is hard. Not communicating is hard. Choose your hard.
Life will never be easy. It will always be hard. But you can choose your hard.0
