I like that the communication is directly to the people concerned, and any questions are sorted at the early stages of any application. This saves time for both the lender and adviser. Reviewed on: 11th June 2026

Amazing service tailored to my personal needs.

5
I have been a costomer of Newbury Building society nearly ten years. They offered mortgages to niche markets, such as newly self-employed and over 60's. They gave me a mortgage taking ibto account all of my financial circumstances. Their operatives have always listened to my needs and been very empathic und understanding. I have recently ported my mortgage to a new property, which has been great. Reviewed on: 5th June 2026

My mortgage appointment was super efficient!

5
My mortgage appointment was clear and easy, Hannah explained how the appointment would run so I knew what would be covered, and explained all my options clearly, and answered my questions. I found the service super convenient, efficient and will definitely be using the service again! Reviewed on: 2nd June 2026

Happy mortgage customer

5
I had a bit of a problem to connect to the mortgage department telephonically. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful but could not do anything to help. She asked the mortgage personel to call me, which they did and problem solved. Other than that little hiccup I am very happy with the service! Reviewed on: 1st June 2026

Re-mortgage

5
Five years ago our initial mortgage application was done in person, but this re-mortgage was done remotely and nothing could have been easier. Each step in the process was clearly explained and at all times we knew exactly where we were in the process. Every letter and telephone call from them to us came at the expected time and contained all the information we needed. Just an overall efficient, friendly and stress free process.

Lauren Dearlove and Newbury.

5
Lauren Dearlove has been a very good contact. She has been patient and excellent. Apart from a member of staff that spoke very poor English and had difficulty understanding what I wanted, I would still give the Newbury 5 stars as Lauren Dearlove more than made up for it. Such a shame you do not do the type of commercial mortgage I wanted but would not hesitate if I need a commercial one. Reviewed on: 20th May 2026
Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for your feedback Ledgia, we will be sure to share this with Lauren, who will be so pleased. Response date: 21st May 2026

Newbury took a very sensible and pragmatic approach to our rather unsual house purchase, and where other mortgage lenders had so many rules which frankly didn't make sense Newbury simply took a rational approach. They were "flexible" and made our new home purchase possible. We would recommend them. Reviewed on: 18th May 2026
