Vida Homeloans Bewertungen 

Application went through very quickly and offered within 24 hours of valuation. Thanks

Ease of process to offer is good without to much fuss, would like to see offer auto acceptance within application, and manual decline to make sure rates do not get missed in busy times.

I applied with Vida home loans via broker with a salary of 45K Vida declined me based on my affordability which I dont understand. Vida home loans make out to be people that are willing to help working class people like myself who havent got the best credit to get a mortgage. But dont be decived they wont even give you a chance if your are working class dont even waste your time trying to get a mortgage with these people. you are better of trying with Kensington who will at least give you feedback (if they decline you) on how to work on your credit to get a mortgage with them.

Very poor servicing of existing customers — and unfortunately this is not the first time I have had problems communicating with Vida.

My latest issue should have been extremely simple. On 9 August 2026 I requested an annual mortgage statement for ANKOLET2 Limited covering 1 January to 31 December 2025.

Rather than simply supplying the statement electronically, Vida appears to have relied yet again on international postal correspondence. The item could not be delivered while I was abroad and was ultimately returned to sender.

I formally complained on 14 September and specifically requested the information electronically. As of 18 September I still do not have the statement or even the basic 2025 account information my accountant needs.

This is now affecting preparation of the company’s statutory accounts, which must be filed by 30 September.

More generally, this reflects a problem I have encountered with Vida before: communication by email is unnecessarily difficult and they seem far too dependent on what feels like an antiquated postal system for straightforward mortgage administration. For an international customer in 2026, having essential documents repeatedly tied to physical post rather than secure electronic delivery is simply not good enough.

I am not requesting anything complicated — only a historic mortgage statement, or failing that the transaction ledger, annual interest figure and balances needed by my accountant.

I have escalated the matter again today and will update this review if Vida resolves it promptly.

Based on my experience of their servicing and communication, I would avoid Vida if you have a practical alternative.

Charlotte the Valuation Underwritter did a stella job using her initiative to get a case over the line for my client, and reliving the extra hurdles I would of needed to overcome with the case. Please treat her to an extra batch of Welsh Cakes.

Made me jump through hoops, of which I did everything that was asked of me. They took so long, eventually my existing mortgage had run out, and then they wouldn’t give me the mortgage as I was out of mortgage - they knew the end date three months prior!! Had survey done a few weeks prior, and all was great. Then they came back with a no!

A stressful journey, but a very positive outcome

My mortgage application with Vida Homeloans took more than three weeks, and during that time I became quite worried after reading some negative reviews online. My application had several complications, and I had to provide explanations and additional documents regarding my circumstances.

However, I have to say that Vida’s underwriting team took the time to consider my explanations and understand my situation rather than simply making a quick decision. After providing the information they requested, my mortgage was ultimately approved.

The process was stressful at times because of the additional questions and waiting, but I really appreciate that Vida gave me the opportunity to explain my circumstances and properly considered the information I provided.

I’m very grateful to finally have received my formal mortgage offer. Thank you to everyone at Vida who worked on my application and helped make this possible.

I would definitely recommend giving them a chance rather than judging them only by negative reviews.

They have given me the chance to own my new home and feel alive again!
They were very helpful and understanding and in this current borrowing environment this very rare. They listened to my adviser and took on board my past setbacks and misfortunes to realize that people need to be given encouragement not punishment to get back up to winning ways. Thanks Again VIDA !

I have had a very complex case that I was expecting to take an age to go through.
The communication has been great, the process easy to follow and I already have the survey results back in under a week.

For a lender dealing with more complex cases- the service has been significantly higher than what I expected

As a broker this has made my life so much easier and the process so far has been seamless

Excellent experience with Vida once again. They are always so helpful on the phone. Pat Muller deserves special note - as an underwriter she was friendly, professional and genuinely helpful and clearly wanted to help get the case over the line. I couldn't have asked for better service. As a broker who deals with a lot of lenders - Vida are a breath of fresh air!

I have been a mortgage broker since 2000 and I have to say Vida as a specialist lender were exceptional, they were polite and friendly to deal with, they were extremely efficient and fast at dealing with my clients application, very very pleased with the service!!!!

From start to finish they have been extremely helpful and I’m so happy they found me a mortgage. I so grateful

Another tricky case sorted today. Chantal & Andrea also went the extra mile to get the client's solicitor added to panel right at the 11th hour. It's so refreshing to have a lender that looks at the case on it's merit as opposed to being a "computer says no" lender. Keep up the good work guys.

I applied for a mortgage through Vida Homeloans. A Decision in Principle was issued, a full application was accepted, fees were collected, and a valuation was instructed, only for Vida to inform me after all of this that the property did not meet their lending criteria due to its ex-local authority status.

This information was knowable from the property address alone. A £7 Land Registry search or basic due diligence would have identified this immediately. Instead their process relies entirely on a broker ticking a box with zero independent verification and a valuation as a final step.

As a result I lost over £2,000 in direct costs including valuation fees, solicitor costs, Land Registry fees, broker fees. I also sold my car under time pressure specifically to meet their "going in 6 months" affordability criteria; a decision I would never have made had this been identified at DIP stage as it should have been.

My formal complaint was not acknowledged until I chased it myself, then it was subsequently rejected.

A Decision in Principle that doesn't assess the property's eligibility is worthless as a consumer protection tool. If you have to use a specialist lender, DON'T USE VIDA!

Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish, knowledgeable & extremely friendly staff, I would not hesitate to use again. Thank you Chantal. xx

After 1 week of to and fro I still cannot log in as it will not accept my passwords. I have spoken to various people at Vida and all have said that I am registered correctly, but I cannot log in and trying to change passwords is a nightmare. Does not happen.

Great experience from start to finish. System is easy to use and the speed at which we had a mortgage offer was unbelievable. Barry Lindsay was the underwriter on the case and case was offered within 24 hours. Even called me to let me know as well. Lending as it should be.

As a mortgage broker, I've used Vida HL for a number of clients over the years and recently completed a residential case with them. Their criteria were really helpful on a unique property where high street lenders couldn't assist.
A big thank you to Pat Muller, who was clear and fair throughout the process, making it easy to understand what was needed to achieve the mortgage offer.
Very happy with the outcome and the service from Vida.

The Premier Hub team truly are what they say they are... PREMIER all the way. Responsive, flexible and sensible approach to everything. 5* all day every day! Thank you.

Lisa Dowson the senior underwriter on the case was brilliant and so helpful throughout a tricky case. She was easy to get hold of and getting back to documents sent across she was really quick!
