Newbury Building Society Mortgages reviews (1294)

Excellent service

5
My husband and I have a somewhat unusual financial situation because of our employment and so we struggled to find a mortgage provider that would be willing to lend to us despite our savings and good financial history . We came across Newbury Building Society as they were offering mortgages to those who were applying for Help To Buy Wales and right from the start they were incredibly helpful, reassuring and knowledgable. We had contact with more than one branch of Newbury building society and each team dealt with us with great professionalism and kindness. Obviously we were over the moon when we received approval for our requested mortgage amount but regardless it was a very positive experience. Reviewed on: 21st June 2019

Finished paying my Mortgage

5
Despite not taking the redemption fee with my final monthly payment by direct debit, thus requiring me to pay this by cheque, I found the whole mortgage process quite satisfactory and straightforward. What was a particular unexpected surprise was the complimentary gift I received a few day later as congratulations on finishing my mortgage. Amazing. Reviewed on: 11th June 2019
Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback on your recent experience. We are pleased the gift arrived to congratulate you in a timely fashion! We will share your feedback on payment of the redemption fee, to see if this can be improved. Thanks again and we hope you enjoy/ed the gift! Response date: 13th June 2019

Excellent Mortgage Experience

We employed the services of a mortgage broker who recommended Newbury Building Society whom we had not previously heard of. Newbury came up with a very good and competitive mortgage offer and also provided us with the loan amout we needed. The overall experience from beginning to end was excellent. We would highly recommend Newbury Building Society. Reviewed on: 29th March 2019
