Review of the Newbury Building Society, Mortgages:

Little building society with a big heart

Newbury Building Society is a little gem since I discovered I was éligibilité to be a member from my location two years ago. They offer great interest rates and are improving their service all the time. During the pandemic their telephone customer advisers were always very helpful. Their new app to help view my account and transactions online is a step on the right direction. Reviewed on: 9th March 2021

Simple Product Switch

Expat BTL mortgage was coming to an end, booked an appointment with the mortgage advisors through the website and got the call back the next day. Staff members were very polite, shared what is available and how much I’d save and the product switch was all very easy. Didn’t take much time and no hassle at all. Got the email the next day with the document to sign, again easily done and was processed very quickly. No complaints. Reviewed on: 12th December 2025

Once again, Newbury use common sense when providing solutions to older clients, enabling them to use equity in their homes to help their families achieve their goals. Every member of staff from BDMs, whose knowledge and experience ensures all aspects of the case fits before submission, to processing team who are always happy to take a call and the Underwriters who you can speak to, makes the journey easy. People dealing with people gives the client a good result. Reviewed on: 25th November 2025

We have used Newbury Building Society for many years

I have used Newbury building society for many years. I took out my mortgage with them because at the time it was a really good deal at 0.2% above base rate, guaranteed for the duration. Never regretted it and it was paid off recently. Apart from this my wife and I have several investments each with the Newbury and have always found them very helpful with a good range of savings accounts. Reviewed on: 21st November 2025
