Working to make a difference!

Great customer focus, driven and helping the local community as well as nationwide Reviewed on: 2nd February 2018

Superb, personal service, nothing is too much trouble for NBS.

5
One of the few big lenders who continue to offer a real 'personal service', from start to finish we are treated as valued customers by friendly, knowledgeable NBS staff. Services we don't need are not 'pushed at us' and we are given very good factual, personalised information about products we ask about. Can't fault any element of NBS's customer service.

Brilliant Service

I submitted a mortgage to Newbury and had excellent customer service. They helped me at every stage and moved things along quickly for me. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2018

Newbury Building Society is very good in various ways as a mortgage provider, I have been with it for many year and on three properties. Its good products, very good consultancy, fantastic advice, save us from worries and save us money.

Though there have been quite a few times I got very good advices from them, I give only two examples: I am now applying for an additional loan to my property, I planned for a discounted variable, but I was recommended a interest-only option, with lower interest rate and more suitable way to repay for me. Also, about five year ago, because of some reason, I asked for a bridge mortgage, for which I will need to pay much more interest, I was suggested a better way (plus the adviser's very helpful time control), eventually I bought the property in that way. You can feel their attitude are allway towards helping you, and their speciality is able to solve your problem. Reviewed on: 21st January 2018

Best bespoke mortgage

5
The only mortgage provider to provide a non-standard mortgage, also giving a superb customer services by suggesting ways to reduce our mortgage payments. Reviewed on: 21st January 2018

Continually the best performer in the market place.

5
We have continually renewed our Mortgage product with The Newbury over the past 25 years not because of blind trust but because they continually out-perform the competition and are always available for phone consultations to iron out any queries I have had and advise of better products.

Newbury BS - deal with real people

Old fashioned approach - look at the applicant as a person not a number, allied to decent quality products, all alongside friendly, competent and efficient staff. Reviewed on: 19th January 2018
