Dreams Do Come True...

5
Newbury were more than willing to offer me a 95% shared ownership mortgage with a 5% deposit. I was thrilled about this as for many years I thought it would be impossible to become a first time homeowner with house prices increasing. Newbury has made my dream come true - thank you!!

Mortgage Telephone Call

My mortgage telephone call today with Courtney Green was so useful and she answered all the questions I had. We spoke about fixed rates and about stair-casing as well. The call was on time and ran smoothly. I cannot fault the service at all. Thank you! Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Employees are very helpful, knowledgable and have great customer service skills. They explain everything really well and make the process really simple and easy. The only negative i have is in comparison to other lenders the rates are slightly higher than average. Reviewed on: 9th February 2024
