Good friendly helpful staff

I like the personal touch and they are local with shops on the high street I have several savings accounts with them Reviewed on: 6th January 2018

Friendly, helpfull and responsive

5
I have been with the Newbury for over 40 years and have had a number of mortgage and savings products from them. They have always provided what I consider a personal service and always make you feel like a valued customer - not just another number. Reviewed on: 6th January 2018

Self Build Mortgage

5
I applied to Newbury Building Society for a Self Build Mortgage to build my own home having tried a number of high street competitors who failed to understand the requirement. Newbury understood the requirement and were flexible in the mortgage schedule to support the different phases of the build. They also adjusted my mortgage on completion of the build to a more advantageous product. A very personal and professional service. Reviewed on: 5th January 2018

Clear and what we wanted

5
We have found dealing with Newbury to be very satisfactory. Their paperwork is clear and to the point, they are excellent when dealing over the phone and their products and customer service is first class! In the modern age where everything is geared around customer service but actually the service has little to do with what the customer needs or whats, Newbury are refreshingly open minded and to the point. A fantastic product and first class service. Reviewed on: 5th January 2018

Very helpful, quick and professional

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.
