Debs and Claire are amazing

Debs and Claire were amazing to us throughout. We had a very stressful house buying experience but they were always there for us. I would recommend them to anyone and can’t thank them enough for all they did for us. Reviewed on: 26th August 2024

Great advisor. Dreadful process.

I already had a mortgage with MBS which was categorised as transferable but when I moved home I was ‘forced’ to pay outstanding monies and renew it. Michelle Groves was fantastic but the MBS made the whole process painful, intrusive and thoroughly unpleasant. Reviewed on: 10th August 2024

Reply from Monmouthshire Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the Society. It is disappointing to hear you haven’t had a good experience on this occasion. A manager from the Direct Sales team will contact you. Response date: 13th August 2024

Courteous & knowledgeable Mortgage Advisor.

Great guidance from a courteous and helpful Mortgage Advisor Leon Jenkins. Being new myself to taking over the mortgage product switch, Leon was patient, extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain my options. Made something l dreaded sorting out a more pleasant experience. Many thanks Leon! Reviewed on: 31st July 2024

Vicky was very helpful and knowledgeable about all products. Provided me with a budget planner, explained various account options and even arranged a mortgage follow-up call. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2024

I had a great experience from beginning to end.

I had a great experience from beginning to end. The whole process was quick and easy. Much easier than other lenders I have dealt with in the past. This was mainly due to the mortgage consultant who kept me informed of progress every step of the way and was very approachable. I would thoroughly recommend Monmouthshire to anyone who is thinking of getting a mortgage. Reviewed on: 21st July 2024

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
