Excellent service

5
We received an excellent service when we recently attended an appointment at Hungerford Branch to review our mortgage. We had already looked into the products available and had decided on the one that suited us best but during our appointment everything was fully explained and we were given additional information that will not only save us money but also enable us to reduce the term of our mortgage.

No words needed - Bought my house in January & Rose was a fantastic start to finish, changed houses a few times due to being messed about by companies and it was never too much hassle. When a housing company advise I changed Mortgage company I refused due to how good Rose & Newbury were. Thanks from Ashley J. Reviewed on: 29th October 2019

remortgage

Good interaction with the team and prompted by a letter from NBS, re coming to end of offer period on mortgage product, Had a chat, re transferring to a new discounted product. Spotted an ERC in the T&Cs, which was then overridden, but wonder how many other people would not have spotted it and been liable to ERC. Reviewed on: 25th October 2019
Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Stuart, thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback. Thanks for pointing this out, our advisers should explain this, and for those customers that qualify, we have a secondary check when the mortgage switches to ensure it is not charged. We will look into how we can make this clearer though. Thanks again. Response date: 28th October 2019
