Once again, Newbury use common sense when providing solutions to older clients, enabling them to use equity in their homes to help their families achieve their goals. Every member of staff from BDMs, whose knowledge and experience ensures all aspects of the case fits before submission, to processing team who are always happy to take a call and the Underwriters who you can speak to, makes the journey easy. People dealing with people gives the client a good result. Reviewed on: 25th November 2025

I have used Newbury building society for many years. I took out my mortgage with them because at the time it was a really good deal at 0.2% above base rate, guaranteed for the duration. Never regretted it and it was paid off recently. Apart from this my wife and I have several investments each with the Newbury and have always found them very helpful with a good range of savings accounts. Reviewed on: 21st November 2025

First class old fashioned customer service.

First class old fashioned customer service. Call the number get through to reception ask for the department you need and a human answers the phone, usually very quickly. Their mortgage advisors are amazing giving honest realistic advice and everything is done quickly. I can honestly say not only are they the best lender I have ever dealt with but they are the best company out of any I have dealt with for many years. I would 100% recommend them. Their mortgage products are also very competitive so its a win/win for customers! Reviewed on: 7th November 2025
