Amazing customer service and care

We were first time buyers wanting to do a Shared Ownership purchase on a New Build property. As you can imagine not many mortgage companies would be keen to take that sort of mortgage on, but Newbury would. They gave us the chance to get on the ladder without any issues and were the best value quote out there. Any contact we have is always really easy and the staff are so friendly. We had a nightmare getting into out property (new builds always take longer than promised) and the best thing about our first week in our new home was the lovely hamper we recieved from Newbury! Such a wonderful touch and really reassured us that we went with the right company for us. A good company ways puts their customers first and it's little gestures like that which has encouraged me to recommend Newbury to anyone looking to get on the ladder. Thank you Reviewed on: 7th January 2020

Great for first time buyers

Great experience using Newbury. When applying for a mortgage for the first time it can be pretty daunting and confusing. Newbury made the application easy and supported us all the way through. Reviewed on: 27th December 2019

Santander could touch your level of service .

Having been a Santander customer for 28 yrs and never missed a mortgage payment I thought it would be a dead cert for getting a mortgage on our new property -They were dreadful- down grading our mortgage 3x and excessive demands for self employed expenses . We instructed another mortgage advisor who went with Newbury -within 24 hours our mortgage was accepted and underwritten by a human being with common sense . Thanks to Newbury and their traditional values of customer service we were able to move . Reviewed on: 23rd December 2019

Professional, efficient and supportive

Provided informal advice from the outset allowing as to identify a budget and the financial implications of increasing our mortgage. Kept in contact and responded promptly to all requests, both from ourselves and other professionals. Dealt with us as a customer not a commodity. It is nice to be treated how one used to be treated when dealing with financial institutions. Reviewed on: 20th December 2019
