Great Customer Service at Winchester

I called into the Winchester branch this morning about my account which operates with a passbook. My bank and other savings institutions have long since left our high street do actually calling into a branch was is an experience with which I am no longer familiar. There was some catching up paperwork to be done and the lady who dealt with it couldn't have been more helpful and dealt with everything very efficiently. I now realise how impersonal it is just to deal with my other accounts on line. Thank you ! Reviewed on: 17th August 2026

Hannah Seward - The BEST Mortage adviser!

Hannah has been amazing through this whole experience, something which I thought I might not be able to acheieve alone she has made a breeze, explaining everything in details and asking me all the relevant questions to ensure I am commiting to something affordable to me - If I ever need to do anything like this again, I hope I have someone as patient and understanding as Hannah Seward!

Disappointed with our renewal was handled.

We’ve been with NBS for 8 years. We’ve never had a problem until this year when I had to contact NBS to start the conversation about renewal. Then after the meeting we were waiting on paperwork that was never sent (I thought this meant that everything was done and in place) Then 17 days before renewal we were contacted saying that we hadn’t confirmed our mortgage and that we were sent documents by email (we were not) after a rushed 24hrs of getting signed and over the line it was sorted. I have a young family and was disappointed that the NBS team were not on the ball with making sure that this process was stress free. We have decided to take a variable mortgage at the moment, after being advised that we would be contacted if there is an upcoming change in interest rates, I’m not concerned as to whether this would actually happen.

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Belynda, We are very sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered during your mortgage renewal process. What you've described is disappointing to read and is certainly not the level of service we would expect. We will ask our Head of Direct Sales to get in touch with you directly to discuss what happened and understand where our service fell short. Thank you for raising this with us, we value your feedback. Response date: 31st July 2026
