Any contact with NBS is receptive, accommodating & professional. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Made a difficult process easy

They helped and supported me with a self-build project and believed in me and my project when others would not. The staff are all very polite and helpful and have provided fair and sensible flexibility around the product to suit my project - grateful for their help and I have a wonderful house now thanks to their support.

Great service, great rates - the Small but perfectly formed Newbury Building Society

5
I have been a happy customer of Newbury Building Society for over 15 years. I previously held my mortgage with a large multinational supplier but haven't looked back since switching to the Newbury Building Society. They offer great customer service and have a good product range. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Great Customer Service

Always very helpful. It’s almost like a family business rather than a bank where no one wants to listen. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Pleasant, helpful and considerate service

5
Our mortgage was due for renewal, we visited Newbury Building Society and discussed our options with a mortgage adviser. Within 20 minutes we had signed up for a new 3 year deal at a preferential reduced rate. What more could we ask for? Fabulous. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Very helpful

5
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
