Great company

5
We had a lot of trouble with another lender getting our shared ownership and all went wrong and lost our mortgage offer, when we thought all was lost Newbury gave us an offer and had everything sorted for us very fast with very little hassle. They have had amazing customer support, which most other lenders don’t and just general made it very stress free for us. Once we moved in we even had a welcome box which was a nice touch from them. Couldn’t recommend any more Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

I received communication to let me know that present mortgage deal would end in April 2023. I was advised to get in contact to select a new deal. This was followed up with a reminder. I arranged a telephone interview that took place exactly on time, everything was explained and all my questions answered. I was offered a 3yr or 5yr deal. It was all very simple, professional and reassuring. Reviewed on: 8th March 2023

We managed to obtain a small mortgage through a broker, who had had very positive experiences with Newbury, particularly for the older customer! The whole process was uncomplicated and expedited without any problem. Reviewed on: 3rd March 2023

Good lenders to deal with on the whole

Setting up the mortgage was easy and over the 3 years the service was excellent. It was only when I wanted to pay off the interest-free loan that things got complicated. Each query involved two phone calls to get through to the "mortgage team" even though they were information only. It was difficult to get a date pinned down and when I offered to pay a few days early I was still threatened with a heavy early repayment fee. No one was particularly helpful or proactive and it was two months before I got an acknowledgement that the loan had been paid off. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023
