Newbury Building Society Mortgages reviews (1383)

Wasted my time. Beware.

My second review for these people. After an initial experience of a friendly and helpful service, it all went down hill rapidly. Firstly if you want to remortgage within the next three months this probably isn't for you because of their lead times. But more importantly be prepared to spend hours sourcing reams of documents for them only to be told that you're not eligible for reasons that they could easily have asked you about at the start. Wasted my time. Couldn't explain their illogical decision making processes and with appalling redress. AVOID. Reviewed on: 29th May 2024

We would like to look into this further - please can you email us at marketing @newbury.co.uk so that our Lending Manager can investigate? Many thanks, Emma Response date: 29th May 2024

Staff good to deal with

Easy to set up. Have had several contacts with staff regarding over payments etc and all have been excellent and pleasant to deal with. Early repayment information provided when requested and easily paid balance when the time came. Reviewed on: 27th May 2024

All very efficient and easily dealt with.

All very efficient and easily dealt with. I had expected a better rate on the mortgage as I have been with you for many years and there is so little remaining to pay but that will just serve as an incentive to pay off the balance even faster. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Eve was fantastic!

Eve was fantastic! I really appreciated how she listened to my request and offered me the best option for me. She was patient and friendly and really explained the technical terms to me. I normally dread these sorts of things but I came away feeling confident and with a smile on my face. Reviewed on: 19th May 2024
