Newbury Building Society Mortgages reviews (1298)

1st Class Service

We re-mortgaged with Newbury as they offered the best rate available across the whole mortgage market. Even though we arranged the mortgage through a mortgage adviser Hannah at the Newbury still communicated through me and the service was exceptional. We were paying an extortionate amount of daily interest with our existing lender so we were keen to get the deal through asap and with Hannah's help we managed to bring the completion date forward over a week. I would highly recommend Newbury Building Society. Reviewed on: 28th July 2023

Re Mortgage to Newbury

Due to the position it was a s straight forward as a normal re mortgage, however the team at The Newbury were extremely helpful and kept us up to date every stop of the process. The communication wasn't the typical corporate responses, but very personal which I think made all the difference and hope that never changes. Reviewed on: 28th July 2023

Really impressed with the professionalism shown by Sezanne, extremely helpful.

Interesting experience, bearing in mind my age and being prepared to offer a mortgage to age 90, after being told by Leaders acting on behalf of Laurus Homes the vendor was an impossibility. So pleased my IFA suggested yourselves. Reviewed on: 21st July 2023

Additional borrowing

Being self employed mortgages applications are always interesting and can be protracted and I understand this. The requests for information changed constantly throughout the application. The underwriting department were inconsistent in their requests. If i were not tided into an agreement I would have gone out to market. Reviewed on: 21st July 2023

Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking time to provide feedback - and we are sorry you were frustrated with information requests. We will pass your comments to the Underwriting Manager to review this, but thank you for letting us know. We will explore this. Response date: 24th July 2023

Outstanding personal service

An organisation that remembers that personal service is fundamental to a successful business. My calls were answered by courteous and competent people after one or two rings - Not one of the people I interacted with was working from home. The whole experience was pleasant and fruitful.
