Quick and simple remortgage

I recently remortgaged and chose Monmouthshire for the great rate but also the recommendation from a friend about their service. It was so quick and easy to remortgage with them. Really happy!

These guys are sharks, I applied for a morgage with this building society.
They made me first pay them to conduct their valuation which found value, then after they took my money they declined my application based on the fact that I have not been with my current employer for at least two years. They knew from the onset that I only came into the country just over a year ago, so why not decline me there and then? Why steal my money? If I could give them a zero rating, I would. UNETHICAL

Savings Products

I have been taking out Regular Saver Products, these have been excellent, the interest rates have been very generous and then I have been taking a new product after 12 months. Its enabled me to have money saved.

My husband and I had been on a interest only mortgage for some time and were looking to switch to a repayment mortgage. As new home owners our mortgage knowledge was limited. MBS helped us understand the products available, and placed no pressure on us to borrow with them. They made me feel valued and not just a number.

Monmouthshire building society provides some very competitive savings accounts,I'm very happy with my ISA and SaverPlus accounts both offer very competitive interest rates & I like having traditional passbooks & the ability to access & action things online if I choose to.In addition Monmouthshire is a forward looking building society,willing to take a calculated risk in planning to provide current accounts for its members & potential new customers.....well done Monmouthshire for waving the flag for mutuality AND innovation as opposed to burying your head in the sand & hoping for the best (unlike a lot of building societies!)

I was diagnosed with a rare type of bone cancer, in April 2017. My life has changed out of all recognition. My mobility is very restricted. All the staff, in the Abertillery Agency, have been absolutely outstanding in helping me at one of the most difficult times of my life. Cannot thank or praise them enough.

Mighty Monmouthshire

At the bottom of the Financial Crisis, the Monmouthshire mortgaged us, when seemingly no-one else would. Seven years later, we still get great rates and great customer service. I've already recommended them, and I would again.

I feel very lucky to have this little friendly Building Society on my doorstep, especially at a time when so many local services are being centrallised and unaccessible.
The staff are welcoming and take so much time explaining all the product choices etc in so much detail, allowing time to ask questions and taylor your products to suit circumstances. No online service can or will offer this and I hope you are here to stay!
The staff feel like my friends, as well as being fully uo to date on all that Monmouthshire has to offer.
I would not hesitate in recommending my branch in particular to others.
I have had a difficult year, hopefully next year things might start to look up and I can be a better saver.
Thanks again to the 'Clevedon girls'
