During the time I have been with Newbury, they have been helpful, professional and understanding. I have spoken to some lovely helpful people near the time i was repaying the mortgage and have only praise for them. they make you feel that its special and personal to you.

The longest process of my life

2
From the time our mortgage application was submitted it took TWO MONTHS for us to get our mortgage offer. We had already sent a plethora of paperwork and documents and we would keep receiving requests for the same documents every week or so. This was the longest part of our homebuying process and we nearly lost our window of opportunity to move in to our new home before our tenancy was up. If the offer had taken even a few days longer we would have had nowhere to stay in the gap between our tenancy ending and our property completion Reviewed on: 22nd December 2023
Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback - we are sorry to hear that you have been frustrated by the time the process has taken - please contact us at marketing @newbury.co.uk so that we can understand what happened in this instance.
