Good accessible customer service
Went with YBS as wanted an offset mortgage. Good customer service, easy to get hold of team via email or phone. Mortgage process involved gifted deposit but was still straightforward.

Very easy to open account, what I would say is its abut disappointing that you can only have one banking application on a device

Staff followed up by email text and phone. As new customer to Yorkshire Building Society, this was such a welcoming reception from the staff. Thank you

Unhelpful and slow to respond
Apart from initial good interactions with YBS staff when first applying the customer service has been awful, passed over to their appointed conveyancer who have been slow and extremely unhelpful during the process of remortgaging to redeem my help to buy loan. Absolutely no contact from YBS themselves during this latter stage. Not sure about a standard mortgage application but I would not recommend them for help to buy applications.

Although a long online process
Although a long online process, which is to be expected, I didn't find out what was required until the process had begun, so a list of requirements upfront would have been helpful. Then again, maybe I just missed it. I'm not very tech savvy so the end result was a triumph for me.

Setting up offset accounts
My initial experience of setting up my remortgage with Rory and the team has been brilliant, but since the offset mortgage has completed all customer service contact has been terrible.
I have been trying to chase up my additional offset account application and my dad’s offset plus application. Each time someone says they will look into it and call me back. No one has called me back and the accounts have not been opened. It seems that the paperwork has been lost. No one wants to proactively do anything. The forms were sent and received on 29th July. Mortgage opened 28th August but still no addition offset account opened. I have raised a formal complaint now, but at the moment I have just received random emails and texts saying the complaint is being looked into. How difficult is it just to open the accounts I have requested using the process you have to use for these accounts.
