Newbury Building Society Mortgages reviews (1325)

Very helpful

Difficult situation re mortgaging my truesteel framed home in which I have lived for more than 20 years. Very helpful face to face contact in which the mortgage advisor was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and very reassuring. Just a brilliant local service in an era of faceless online form filling. Loved it. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Excellent service provider

A fair, sensible and efficient loan provider - fit for purpose. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Mortgage and Savings

I would recommend the Newbury Building Society to anyone looking for either a Mortgage or Savings Account. The Newbury are not only competitive but made the stressful financial process of moving home complete with ease. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Amazing experience

Personal experience from start to finish. Nothing too much to ask and provided above and beyond expected help the entire way. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

A fantastic Building Society

A Building Society that really understands individual needs and one that makes a very quick decision Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Excellent service

My mortgage came up for renewal and the team made the whole process very easy to understand and gave me an excellent rate Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

The best

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.

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

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

Great Local Building Society

Always feels like you are dealing with people, not an institution. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018
