First class service and wonderful caring support throughout.

Nothing was too much trouble. When staff promised to call back they did so when promised. Everyone we dealt with seemed intent on providing most caring thoughtful and patient support. Re-mortgaging made easy is my statement. Reviewed on: 27th November 2020

Friendly staff, can't fault it. The only thing that ruined for me and the wife is the Tutting, and blowing of customers that came in behind us, otherwise it was alright. Reviewed on: 27th November 2020

Remortgage Experience

5
As a recently retired couple requiring to continue mortgaging for some while longer we anticipated that a RIO mortgage would be recommended by a new provider. Our previous provider was reluctant to continue our mortgage beyond my 70th. birthday. Newbury Building Society provided a mortgage plan entirely tailored to suit our requirements at a mortgage rate comparable to the best rates available at the moment. It takes some time to complete the process however we have been totally satisfied throughout. Extremely pleased. Thank you Newbury! Reviewed on: 26th November 2020

Brilliant customer service during the whole mortgage process

We recently took out a mortgage with NBS . The whole process was done remotely. All the staff involved were very professional and made the mortgage journey, during Covid, stress free from start to finish. I would thoroughly recommend NBS. Reviewed on: 24th November 2020

Seemed a little slow but not sure how much of this was caused by broker and lawyer. Gift box from Building Society on completion was a very welcome surprise. Reviewed on: 9th November 2020
