Review of the Newbury Building Society, Mortgages:

Glad to be getting away!

I had a Buy to let mortgage with the Society which was originally at a good rate; the Truss madness resulted in this increasing by almost 300% I appreciate that this was not the Society‘s fault but there was no help at all when I started the selling process (with the tenants moved out) and I had to weather months of £1100 per month expenditure. The icing on the cake was £3500 of early repayment charges. I am simply glad to be getting away from NBS! Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Made buying my first house relatively easy!

All the people I dealt with sorting out my 1st ever mortgage were very helpful especially Lauren who I dealt with the most. Very quick at replying to messages and one of the easiest companies I've dealt with in a while to get through to on the phone. Good mortgage rate too. Reviewed on: 6th December 2024

We were difficult!

We were difficult customers in the eyes of a bank, so it was refreshing to find a company who were willing to listen and treat our case on an individual basis. We had returned to the UK having lived in Europe for 24 years and were nearing pension. They approved our mortgage and were are very happy. Reviewed on: 6th December 2024

Kaylie Tingle - Mortgage Advisor

Met over the telephone with Kaylie Tingle who ran through everything with us asking lots of security questions and questions relevant to our mortgage needs. She gave clear advice and guidance and explained how the Building Society could help us and continue working with us when our current product expired. Professional service. Felt reassured after the call. Reviewed on: 21st November 2024
