In branch service review

Arranged mortgage for us which was easy to do. Reviewed on: 31st December 2024

Remortgage with Newbury BS

I applied to remortgage with Newbury BS through a broker. The process was straightforward and thorough as I would expect. There was a delay due to one department not informing the underwriter that all the information requested had been submitted by me. However once informed the underwriter responded within 24 hours. I received a message from Newbury BS stating that if I wanted to complete the transaction earlier than planned this would be possible which was a great help. No solicitors required so no additional costs. Excellent service despite the short delay of one week. Reviewed on: 30th December 2024

Great service from start to finish

I recently used Newbury Building Society for the first time, and I wanted to share my positive experience. The staff were both friendly and highly efficient, making the process smooth and hassle-free. I was particularly impressed with the Free Legals system you use. It stands out as exceptional compared to other lenders I have worked with. If only more lenders adopted such a system! Reviewed on: 18th December 2024
