I've never been happy with them. Charge you to take money out of an ISA if you don't order money, same with my instant saver account too. They also charged me £12 when I never received a letter to say I needed to pay my credit card. Totally forgot I needed to pay it...
Looking at mortgages and the Halifax are about the best giving my situation according to the advisor.
Anyone with them for a mortgage? I'd rather use Lloyds TSB but the intrest is a lot more

My misses has had trouble with her current account with Halifax.
I'm with Barclays and never had such problems. Their mortgages always seem reasonable.

I bank with Lloyds TSB and never had a single problem. Even the staff are boss at my local bank.
Just worried they will not take a payment or something..

I purchased and arranged a mortgage for my first property with Halifax and I would never use them again, if I had to describe them in one word 'incompetent' springs top mind

Why get a mortgage with a high street bank??
Go and see an independant financial advisor they will search every mortgage under the sun for you.

Nationwide is a safe bet as it isn't a bank - not sure what protection you have, but they are less likely to go under imho.
