On completion day, additional documents were needed from our conveyancer although we received a welcome email the day before telling us everything was ready. Completion was delayed by 1.5 hours and it was a very stressful time. The sellers up the chain were threatening to charge us interest. Newbury need to make sure that everything is in place for the loan before completion day. This has knocked our confidence Reviewed on: 14th February 2025

Remortgaging to Newbury was a Great Choice

We were remortgaging to Newbury from another lender via a broker, but the interactions we had with Newbury BS staff was excellent throughout the process. We were always kept up to date with things and Newbury did things quickly, providing clear information all along the way. Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

Staff at the building society responded quickly.

Staff at the building society responded quickly and helpfully throughout the entire process. We were working within strict time constraints on the purchase of a property and staff kept us fully informed of progress at all stages which took the pressure off from what can be a stressful experience when it is not something you do every day.
