Extremely flexible way of doing business.

We have been with NBS about 25 years and have tweaked our mortgage (up and down) many times over that period. They are always helpful and competitive. Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Not enough information

I find it quite stressful dealing with anything mortgage related and this experience hasn't been great. My signed papers were lost in the post, I had to re do them all and pay for recorded delivery first of all. I wasn't advised that I would be receiving a payment back on the first of the month due to a difference in what was borrowed and the redemption figure. Nor was I told my direct debit would not be set up for the 1st of the month so on that date it was all quite confusing. Lastly I appreciated the welcome hamper but half of the coffee sachets were out if date as of November last year and the other half go out of date in 3 weeks time. Really disappointed.

Switching to a new product - fabulous service

Very impressed with the service we have had switching from an old Buy-to-let deal to a new one. Communication has been brilliant and impressed anything financial is via a secured email service. Very proactive agent (Chloe) kept us fully informed all the way through the process. Reviewed on: 6th February 2023

Exemplary service

We have been a depositor and borrower with NBS for more than 25 years. Post retirement over ten years ago, we still had an outstanding mortgage on our principal residence as the cash had been used to assist children with various property purchases, latterly a flat in London occupied and rented by our youngest daughter and others. The intention was always to transfer the flat to her but the outstanding borrowings needed to be transferred to her also. Our existing fixed rate product came to an end on 31 January and we started discussions with Eve McDowell in September about how to structure the arrangement which entailed me supporting our daughter with my income to enable her to achieve the earning multiple to support the required borrowing. Eve has always been incredibly pleasant and helpful to deal with as we have discussed our ultimate objective over a number of years. A satisfactory mortgage offer was issued in early December and the new advance on the security of the flat completed on 31 January to tie in with the redemption at the end of our fixed rate product. What I like about NBS is that they are friendly, local, efficient, accessible, flexible and easy to deal with and it gives the impression of providing a personalised service. Its products may not be the most competitive in the market place (apart from the 2.21% discount from SVR withdrawn in October!) but they maintain a reasonable balance. We hope this continues with the current increases in BoE base rate. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2023
