Fleet Mortgages Reviews 

Shocking got 4 mortgages and they treat you like your 1st time buyer ,

Great experience, really helpful and allowed my client to complete quickly.

Extremely slow. I had to continually chase for updates. Underwriter was on holiday and nobody picked up case whilst she was away; I nearly gave up and re-submitted to another lender.
They insist on hard copies for some documents, so you are reliant on postal service, which again slows matters down. Think twice before using for urgent cases.

every review of docs etc takes too long- 5 days and then you want more docs- over 3 months to check docs is terrible service.

From initial underwriting flexibility through to processing and completion, my experience of a somewhat complex BTL case was excellent. I felt taken care of and I look forward to my next case with Fleet!

We had a couple of very urgent applications that required the intervention of the BDMs Helen McNamara and Josh Parker. In both cases, the applicants had already exchanged on the properties so needed to complete very quickly. We have been extremely impressed with the communication and speed they were both able to deal with each of the applications, managing to escalate them so the offers could be issued in time and avoid the applicants losing their deposits! This is not a normal situation but they both pulled it out the bag so we are extremely thankful for such amazing service - Thankyou!

We have a good working relationship with Dave & Charlotte, who help us get things done!

The process was very slow, you asked for so many personal docs when it was a Ltd company BTL however you did do what you said you would do with regards property type

Quite terrible overall with applications into months literally
time consuming with every application
not very communicable/responsive service/turnaround times
products are ok
processes sucks
business needs massive overhaul top to bottom
not what you expect from a BTL lender

Just about perfect in dealing with this case. My BDMs, along with general support, were amazing.

I can’t recommend Josh Parker highly enough. As my BDM at Fleet Mortgages, he went above and beyond at every stage of the process and played a vital role in getting my deal over the line. His proactive approach, clear communication, and genuine commitment made all the difference when things got challenging. Josh is without doubt a stand-out BDM in the mortgage world — knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to go the extra mile. A real asset to both Fleet Mortgages and the brokers he supports.

From initial enquiries with the Broker Support team and all the way through to the Completions team, the experience was none other than 'exceptional'.

The whole team, including my BDM (Stella Brookman) and Senior Underwriter (Carl Colbourn), worked as a team with me to get my case offered.

Every case for them is 'bespoke!'

Thank you so much!!

From start to finish on a complex case and tight deadline every one I spoke to were responsive , quick and professional , answered any queries outstanding service and would recommend fleet a fantastic experience

very slick process and Blacks solicitors were excellent as well

Over the top underwriting

The care and support received from Emma and Katy on the BDM team is unparalleled and was key to achieving a swift completion with minimal delays for our client which means we will be coming back.

Their lending policy is good. However, they can extend their solicitor panel for Ltd company cases. As the client have to choose among few solicitors and find them expensive. Also Fleet's shopping list is quite long for a BTL lender. BDM and underwriters are supportive eventually.

This company is only interested in taking your arrangement fee. They have made a business out of it. Don't get caught.

Make SPV application way too much complicated. Amount of documents ask was too much . I would need to follow them every other day to give me update on the case . I would have get mortgage offer less than half of the time through other lenders.

Unfortunately, this bank has created its own internal process issues, which are not adequately supported by its staff. My assigned BDM is quicker to suggest raising a complaint than to actually take ownership of a problem. Thankfully, her assistant takes her responsibilities seriously and has been the only proactive support in the process.

I recently completed a loyalty mover product for a long-standing client—someone with millions of pounds in outstanding balances with this same lender and an excellent credit history. The experience was chaotic: the process was slow, poorly managed, and riddled with inaccuracies. It required constant daily phone calls and emails—not just to a single contact at the bank, but to multiple departments, plus their legal provider, and then back to the bank again—just to get it over the line in time.

Even then, the bank mistakenly took a larger payment from the client, which they later refunded. While this wasn’t an issue for a high-net-worth individual, it would have been a serious problem for an average customer. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this bank.
