Newbury Building Society Mortgages reviews (1420)

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

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

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.
