Renewal of fixed term mortgage

We came in to review or fixed rate mortgage which had come to an end and to discuss a new mortgage for a new property. The service and help we received was great and our adviser was able to explain everything clearly. We have managed to save some money on our new fixed term mortgage which is great.

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
