Review of the Monmouthshire Building Society, Mortgages:

Excellent service experienced from MBS Advisor.

Got in touch to renegotiate my mortgage which ends shortly and promptly arranged telephone appointments for next week. I spoke to Mr Wayne Donovan at the Newport office who was most helpful, polite and courteous. Our conversation was followed up promptly with information on what to expect during my future meeting and relevant information l would require to have at hand. Concise information and excellent information and help from Mr Donovan. 5* service. Reviewed on: 19th July 2024

Excellent service for fixing my mortgage rate.

I found the service provided by Michelle the mortgage advisor to be very knowledgeable and helpful. She was excellent. Appointment took about 1 hour by telephone and she emailed me all documents that I required to complete my new fixed rate on my mortgage. Reviewed on: 21st January 2025

Further Advance

I worked with Anita Morgan in trying to consolidate my debt and despite the rules of the Society Anita worked so hard and diligently in helping put a case together so that the offer could be supported and underwritten by the society. This was a lengthy process but the approval of the offer has been given and for me and my family this is a huge help in changing our life as we are saving around £2,500 a month with this offer. Without Anita this would have never happened, the funds... Reviewed on: 16th January 2025

MBS Rate Switch

Mortgage advisor Olly proactively called me to query a VM that I had left, a few days prior. He was professional, engaging and arranged my rate switch efficiently and effectively. The MBS website is terrible but thankfully they have professionals like Olly & Adam that more than make up for it. Reviewed on: 14th January 2025

Our two year mortgage product was coming to an end.

Our two year mortgage product was coming to an end. After speaking with Adam he sent across via email some options of mortgage products and made an appointment for Jamie to call me a few days later to discuss which product we were interested in. I can not fault their friendliness or competence in dealing with me. Moving forward we have another 2 year mortgage deal which we are happy with. Reviewed on: 9th January 2025

The Truth about the Monmouthshire Building Society

Once upon a time building societies existed to help people in their communities. In the case of the Monmouthshire Building Society this is no longer the case. We have suffered extraordinarily difficult circumstances and they have and still are declining to offer us any meaningful help. Do not trust them. Do not believe their advertisements 'We are a mutual building society run for the benefit of our members'. This could not be further from the truth. Despite many requests they ...

Hassle free telephone support

Had several telephone conversations with Joshua Davies regarding possible mortgage Rate Switch options. He clearly explained the alternatives and was very helpful and understanding about our circumstances. Consequently, we completed a swap promptly and with very little effort or hassle on our part.
