First class old fashioned customer service.

Call the number get through to reception ask for the department you need and a human answers the phone, usually very quickly. Their mortgage advisors are amazing giving honest realistic advice and everything is done quickly. I can honestly say not only are they the best lender I have ever dealt with but they are the best company out of any I have dealt with for many years. I would 100% recommend them. Their mortgage products are also very competitive so its a win/win for customers! Read more Read less

Newbury provided a self-build product and during the build and undervalued the build and refused to provide next tranche of cash so I had to take a personal loan to keep it going. Every single estate agent, builder and local person knows that the land alone was worth more than the value they placed on the build, but thier surveyor was way off. Even worse than this, on completion they again undervalued so I didnt have the required LTV. I had 4 independant valuations at £300k more than thier valuation. They shouldnt offer self-build mortgages if they cannot work with clients. Avoid - their in-house surveyor ruins everything with his stupid valuations and I has to pay £12k to get out of the product and find a decent lender - now have all the funds at 75% LTV because they use an independant surveyor report and the valuation is correct. AVOID AT ALL COSTS Read more Read less
