Helpful and informative

The member of staff who had arranged a call with me, telephoned promptly and was able to provide a useful assessment of the market and clearly explained the options open to me. After selecting a course of action all subsequent dealings were made quickly and a remortgage offer received soon after. Reviewed on: 31st July 2023

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

5
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

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

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
