Advantages: quick mortgage offer

Disadvantages: newer deals can be uncompetative

I have had a mortgage with Abbey for over two years now. I got a buy to let tracker deal with £250 cash back. (Looking back this turned out to be an excellent choice with the current financial situation)

Prices
----------
When i was looking for a mortgage this was the best by far although on other occassions when ive needed a mortgage the deals available werent particually attractive. I would suggest using an independant advisor to find the best deals available.

Speed
---------
My mortgage offer came really quick (something very important to me as i bought the house at auction and only had 28 days to complete!) The whole process from agreement in pricipal to completion was 21 days. (the quickest ive ever had).

Staff
------
Although i used an independant mortgage advisor i did was contacted by the mortgage department at abbey to see how my mortgage was going. The mortgage adviser at Abbey National was efficient, courteous and had the information i required.

Overview
-------------
The Abbey have been the best mortgage company i have had for service and speed. I am now paying a really low rate for my house (but it is unlikely this kind of offer would be available today). I cannot reccomend this mortgage company highly enough.

Summary: great for me but shop around
