Self Build Mortgage

The Newbury Building Society are a class apart from other lenders – you talk to a dedicated contact who is genuinely interested in your project. Unlike so many other lenders these days, each mortgage is accessed on a case-by-case basis and by a real person, and not dictated by a computer algorithm. Reviewed on: 28th February 2020

Although handled through a broker, feedback very satisfactory.

Very impressed with the speedy response to some minor queries, and the friendly efficient manner when phoning the customer support team. Also absolutely delighted with the Home Survival Box, which I thought was a lovely and very personal touch. Thank you, Newbury, for that! Much appreciated!! Reviewed on: 27th February 2020

Beyond helpful

I was scared about how to deal with my mortgage, and expected to come in for a formal meeting. I was delighted to be offered a telephone interview, Kayleigh completely understood my situation, and was very helpful offering a solution and explaining what I had to do. All was rearranged with no problems. I don't know why I worried, Newbury Building Society has always found a way to help me since I first enquired about a mortgage 24 years ago. Thank you. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2020

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Dawn, thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave feedback. We will share your comments with Kayleigh, who will be so pleased to know this. Thanks again, it's much appreciated. Response date: 24th February 2020

professional, accessible and efficient service

Easy to get hold of someone knowledgeable to talk to, kept promises with timings and managed expectations efficiently. Friendly, personal service and no hard sell on other NBS 'products' was appreciated Reviewed on: 22nd February 2020

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Ollie, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, it's much appreciated. Its always good to hear service has been straightforward and helpful. Response date: 24th February 2020

Justine the superstar

I told Justine to make sure she is still there in 3 years time when we renew again, as she is a credit to your company and a fantastic help to our family! She managed to make the process of renewing easy, despite my 2 year old chatting in the background for most of the call! It's our first mortgage so always scary but Justine made it feel like a walk in the park! You have kept a customer because your company genuinely seems to care. She even delayed the renewal to get us on a better deal that wasn't released at the time, so top marks all round. One happy family here! Reviewed on: 21st February 2020

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback, I know Justine will be thrilled to hear this. It's always great to hear that the mortgage process has been made stress free and straightforward. Congratulations on your new home and we also hope Justine will still be here in three years! Response date: 21st February 2020

Efficient and friendly service

Good not having to go through a telephone gateway system. Good 'old fashioned' service! Reviewed on: 14th February 2020

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi George, thank you for taking time to leave feedback for us. It's lovely to hear that the service we provide is appreciated! Many thanks Response date: 14th February 2020

A very good traditional mutual building society

We are in our 70s and had difficulty extending our mortgage for another ten years with our existing lender. Of all the mortgage providers Newbury offered the best deal by far for our age group. In addition the service provided by the underwriting team was informative, professional and friendly. Regular visits to the branch in Newbury ( a beautiful old town with superb setting on the Kennet and Avon canal are an unexpected bonus. Reviewed on: 9th February 2020

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Jeff, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback it's much appreciated. It's always great to hear we have been able to help. Response date: 10th February 2020
