Understanding of the situation, helpful, proactive and efficient

5
Your Mortgage adviser Eve McDowell was exceptional. She listened, understood the requirement, explained the options and gave me time to make a decision on the right course of action for me. Once I had decided she put the paperwork into the system and the arrangements for a mortgage were made with the minimum of fuss. I have no hesitation in saying Ms McDowell is an excellent representative of your excellent organisation. It has been a pleasure doing business with her. Reviewed on: 1st December 2023

Newbury Building Society Branch Review

5
Friendly, patient, approachable staff. Reviewed on: 30th November 2023

Late to set up remortgage

3
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
