Warming.

5
A warming resolution to all dealings with NBS are the experience that I enjoyed. NM Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Personal Service

5
I've had several mortgages with NBS starting when I moved into self-employment and the high street providers wouldn't touch me, ignoring my previous earnings and savings. NBS apply a different approach; looking at you as a whole person not a set of numbers. They answer the phone, respond to emails and simply meet all expectations. I can't recommend them highly enough Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Superb service for nearly 30 years

5
I would recommend anyone, whether just starting out or looking to switch mortgage provider, to talk to their local Newbury branch. So glad that we did back in 1998! Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Great service from a smaller provider

Newbury were more willing to be flexible than larger national providers. Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Self Build

5
As a broker they are The Lender That understand it , work with Broker and Customer to get it right and make sure it can work and pricing is fair Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Excellent service

5
Excellent service in all stages - pre-application, processing and post sale. They offer a good variety of products. I would happily recommend this lender to a family member, friend or client. Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Broker Focused

5
I'm a Mortgage Broker, based in Newbury, and Newbury Building Society are amazing at offering manual underwriting with a common sense approach to prospective clients. There is never a "computer says no" response from Newbury. Particular mentions to Karen & Roger who are invaluable. Reviewed on: 18th January 2018
