Set Build Mortgage

Luke Pummell and his Newbury Building society team were simply outstanding. Clear, concise and conscientious communications throughout my dealings with them made a perceived difficult process easy and efficient. Highly focused on my needs, particularly deadlines to start the build, we’re met in well in advance advance where others said they couldn’t do it. When I had a legal issue Luke stepped in, reassured and proposed a new solicitor who resolved the matter quickly and efficiently. I would happily and strongly recommend Luke and the Newbury Building society to any self builder or small developer looking for finance. Thanks you. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2019
