Review of the Newbury Building Society, Mortgages:

Glad to be getting away!

I had a Buy to let mortgage with the Society which was originally at a good rate; the Truss madness resulted in this increasing by almost 300% I appreciate that this was not the Society‘s fault but there was no help at all when I started the selling process (with the tenants moved out) and I had to weather months of £1100 per month expenditure. The icing on the cake was £3500 of early repayment charges. I am simply glad to be getting away from NBS! Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Best Rate for my Client & Excellent Service..

Newbury had the best rate i was looking for for my clients needs.
