Mortgage lenders with a quality service

5
We have had mortgages with Newbury for many years now. They were recommended by our financial advisor as we were in an unusual situation, with a property rented out for a period and one of us working abroad. We have been delighted with the quality of the service: helpful advice from staff who are competent and friendly. Face to face meetings over videoconference, with follow-up emails and letters in a timely manner. Probably not the cheapest on the market, but we believe you get what you pay for, and Newbury have never disappointed us. Reviewed on: 30th May 2025

Cash Flow

We wanted more cash flow but our money is tied up in the house. So we asked to borrow a certain amount. Everything, was settled within a few weeks. The mortgage advisor and the mortgage underwriter were excellent. Reviewed on: 16th May 2025

I have used the Newbury BS for many years.

I have used the Newbury BS for many years. They are a lender that has a common sense approach coupled with the ability to access the underwriter. Both of these help the client, to a smooth outcome. To talk to a person also builds relationships and cements a good working partnership. Reviewed on: 16th May 2025

I’ve moved house three times and continued to use the Newbury Building Society.
