Newbury Building Society Mortgages reviews (1382)

Great Customer Care

Great customer service and friendly service. Only took a few stars off due to there being a fee of £20 for any extra copies of a redemption statement, whereas other high street lenders don't always charge. Other than that, very happy. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Moving away from mortgage with NBS

Our mortgages has been with the newbury building society for the last 3 years. Unfortunately, we found a more competitive rate elsewhere for our remortgage,. There were a number of hitches moving our mortgaged and with the conveyancing (none due to the newbury) and the staff at NBS were enormously helpful, and were paramount to getting it finally over the line. I can't fault the service we have received in the last 3 years, and if it wasn't for the more competitive rate, we definitely wouldn't have moved! Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Very friendly personal service everytime. You are always a person and not a number. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Mortgage application

Newbury were extremely helpful and professional in arranging a mortgage. They were cognisant of my particular financial and employment circumstances which had led other financial institutions - including HSBC my bank for 40 years - to reject my mortgage application. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Very thorough, responsive and helpful through the process.

Arranged via a broker who liased with NBS. When dealing personally with NBS I found the people to be very helpful, friendly and professional. NBS made every effort to ensure the deadline for remortgage was achieved. Many thanks Reviewed on: 18th January 2020

Nice people, poor processes

Good initial support and advice followed by slow, bureaucratic and painful financial decision making. Just glad they didn't opt to take the kidney, lung and urine samples I was beginning to expect. Reviewed on: 17th January 2020

Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, we are sorry to hear that you found the process painful. Can we ask someone to contact you to discuss what happened? Response date: 17th January 2020

Excellent

From start to finish our mortgage experience with the Newbury has been a positive one. I would definitely recommend them as a lender. Reviewed on: 13th January 2020

Always the most helpful

We have been with Newbury since we had our first mortgage 15 years ago. Every time we need to remortgage, they offer us a completely brilliant and super competitive remortgage, so we’ve never changed. This time they’ve helped us port our mortgage over to a new property - zero hassle and one hundred percent helpfulness. Particular thanks to Kate who always guides us through our mortgage queries.
