Late to set up remortgage

Applied for remortgage in July to take effect from November when existing product ended. Despite signing all documentation in July and Newbury saying all had been completed, for some reason we were not transferred onto the new product and a bigger than expected payment came out of our current account. After a few phone calls this has been resolved but was very disappointed that things didn't run smoothly. Reviewed on: 26th November 2023

Good efficient service

I am 73 years old and found the experience of applying for a new mortgage daunting after my current lender would not continue with offering a mortgage beyond the age of 74. Newbury was efficient and quick in getting the necessary work done to supply me with an acceptable offer. Reviewed on: 17th November 2023

Clear, well-communicated advice and service

Uncomfortable

I am redeeming my mortgage and rang NBS a few months back to find out the exact amount owed. I was told I would be contacted nearer the time, which was fine. To get a call out of the blue and asking really personal questions was very uncomfortable and slightly strange. My first reaction, and apologies to Neisha who was lovely and completely professional and friendly but the first question she asked was my date of birth and name when she had rung me? I understand data protection but that was before anything else. I nearly hung up thinking it was a scam, but then she asked where my funds were coming from. I'm n o money launderer but its none of your business! Frankly I could have said anything... Wouldn't it be better to email/write and schedule a call or zoon call especially from someone with a foreign accent. It's not fair on your staff as I must have been very offhand with her. I was thinking scam before anything else and wasn't thinking straight - apologies if I was rude to her. Reviewed on: 14th November 2023

Mortgage for expats

Positive experience throughout the whole process. The team were prompt to reply to queries and clearly outlined the supporting documentation required so there weren’t delays. Reviewed on: 11th November 2023

Extremely helpful

I have a interest only mortgage for which the payments had more than doubled in a year. I had received several messages suggesting I contact the Building Society and eventually did. I was offered, in my opinion, a much better product. I did research and found this product was recommended by a leading comparison website. This has reduced my payments significantly - just wish I had contacted Newbury earlier. Everything was explained well. Reviewed on: 10th November 2023
