The best

5
Great staff - warm, friendly, supportive, knowledgeable and very professional, without exception. Oh... and the financial offerings are first rate and extremely competitive too. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Positive response to extension of mortgage term.

5
Newbury Building Society took a flexible attitude to our request to extend the term of our mortgage,despite my age being greater than the limit imposed by most lenders.The mortgage is joint with my wife who is considerably younger and will inherit half of my final salary pension plus joint assets.Newbury B S assessed all this plus our payment record and low loan to equity ratio and granted our request. We believe they demonstrated flexibility and individual treatment,whereas most lenders would have rejected the request outright on rigid maximum age policy. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Value for money and personal service

5
I have had successive mortgages with the Newbury over the last few years and their customer service is personal and, in my experience, second to none. You speak to a human being without going on hold and they deal with your query. The rates are competitive and I was delighted that they didn't pass on the recent interest hike, having reduced rates when it went down. Recommended! Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

A life time of help and support

5
I've been with the Newbury for c25years. They have supported me and my family through multiple re-mortgages, buying a boat, moving house. They have always been helpful supportive and competitive suggesting various products which are cheaper and more appropriate to my needs. I no longer look at the competition as the trust and confidence I have in the Newbury gives me the peace of mind that I have the right product and support. Over the 25 years I have dealt with many Newbury advisors and they all work in the same way being supportive helpful and acting with integrity. This is a testament not only to the leadership but to the culture of the organisation which has stayed true to its values even in difficult financial times. Well done guys, thanks for your continued support and good luck. Craig Rogers- Reviewed on: 4th January 2018
