such a professional service and they just understand people who run their own companies.

As the owner of a small company, I get very negative experiences from the high street banks and societies. I am all right if I have 3 months pay slips and a contract with a 90 notice period. So different if you run a 10+ year old business. you are not really wanted and the offers are laughable. The staff have no comprehension of the company ownership world and that included the bank where my company account is and my personal account has been for 30+ years! NBS was os different. The team understand the world of owning your business and its finances and how this can impact a mortgage assessment. Reviewed on: 21st August 2019

After several stressful experiences with my original lender and others it was a great relief to be told that NBS were able to provide me with an appropriate solution for my re-mortgage. The entire operation was completely painless due to the uncomplicated application process and the considerate, informal manner employed by your advisor, Angela. Reviewed on: 12th August 2019
