Mortgages do get paid in the end!

Growing old isn't all bad. Now paid off the last of our Newbury Building Society mortgages after several properties and many years. In the beginning they trusted me with a loan when others wouldn't. They were always good to me and I always made every payment. Kind of works in the long term - and we both did OK. Bad luck Halifax - you missed out. Reviewed on: 30th August 2019

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Richard, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback and congratulations on having made your final mortgage payment! Thank you for your custom over many years and hope you enjoy being mortgage free! Response date: 30th August 2019

Mortgage

Our experience with Newbury Building Society has been great from start to finish. Buying a house is always a stressful experience and throw in a wedding on top then you’ve got two of the most stressful situations (albeit happy) to go through at the same time! Having a seamless experience with the mortgage meant we could focus on planning our wedding and our future together, knowing our plans for our house were quietly coming together behind the scenes Reviewed on: 27th August 2019

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Mrs G, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, it's very much appreciated. Congratulations on your wedding and your new home! We are glad the hassle free mortgage experience meant you could spend more time on your wedding! Response date: 27th August 2019

Smooth & Easy Process

Newbury have helped us achieve our mission of getting onto the property ladder using the shared ownership scheme. We managed to get a great mortgage deal and have had a smooth process. Reviewed on: 24th August 2019

First time buyer - so far so good!

So for my experience has been pleasant, the people I have spoken to on the phone have been accommodating and helpful. I got my mortgage through a broker and Newbury have provided a good service thus far. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2019

Perfect Customer Service

With the help of a local Mortgage advisory, Steven Douglas, Newbury Building Society was top of the list and Steve could not recommend them enough. Due to our personal circumstances, we needed a lender that would actually look at our application and not a computer to say yes or no, and this is exactly what we got. A friendly and understanding professional reviewing our application and accepting us with a quick follow up call to discuss some of the financial issues in the past. We are now the very proud owners of our first home on a shared ownership with our mortgage provided by Newbury BS. Within the first day of being in our new house, we received an amazing gift box. Not a little token box either, a proper box full of goodies including a cafetière, coffee, tea, biscuits LOADS of gift vouchers and discount codes for Weyfair and similar, wine and beer vouchers. Could not be happier!!! Reviewed on: 22nd August 2019

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Jack, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, it's greatly appreciated. Congratulations on becoming home-owners! So pleased you enjoyed the welcome gift as well :-) Response date: 23rd August 2019

Excellent service and communication from start to finish Reviewed on: 21st August 2019

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Jason, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, and congratulations on your new mortgage! Response date: 22nd August 2019

such a professional service and they just understand people who run their own companies.

As the owner of a small company, I get very negative experiences from the high street banks and societies. I am all right if I have 3 months pay slips and a contract with a 90 notice period. So different if you run a 10+ year old business. you are not really wanted and the offers are laughable. The staff have no comprehension of the company ownership world and that included the bank where my company account is and my personal account has been for 30+ years! NBS was os different. The team understand the world of owning your business and its finances and how this can impact a mortgage assessment. Reviewed on: 21st August 2019

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are so pleased to read that your experience with us has been positive. We agree, being self-employed should not prevent you from obtaining a mortgage. Response date: 22nd August 2019
