Fantastic, friendly, supportive and efficient.

I cannot praise and thank Charlotte Hall enough for her continued support throughout the whole mortgage process. Charlotte goes above and beyond in her work. Newbury Building Society is very efficient, friendly and supportive. Everything they said was done. During Covid times, everything is a little more difficult but Newbury understands. Charlotte was willing to help with every little question I had. I would not have managed the stress of applying for a mortgage without her encouraging words and support. I would fully recommend Newbury Building Society to anyone looking for a mortgage. Reviewed on: 4th September 2020

I have been with NBS for 30 years because the products are great, the service is wonderful and they are a local Company. Although the Big 4 can sometimes edge a marginally lower rate they will never beat the service provided by the NBS team. NBS have always gone that extra mile for their customers and loyalty is their reward. Reviewed on: 4th September 2020

Was advised to use Newbury Building Society by my financial advisor as they specialise in shared ownership mortgages. The service from them was great keeping us in the loop and even during the pandemic, they were able to resolve any issues in a timely manner. Reviewed on: 28th August 2020

We applied for a further advance on our existing mortgage and a joint mortgage with our daughter to enable her to purchase a property. We received good advice on how to structure this and a fast and efficient service throughout. Reviewed on: 28th August 2020

Newbury were helpful to release funds quickly following solicitor confirmation.

Generally good, getting survey underway took a little while but covid 19 was a major factor to them running behind which is understandable. Tracing application fee payment was problematic which was frustrating as i had paid it way earlier than needed. Reviewed on: 18th August 2020
