Excellent Customer Service

Thank you Newbury! It was easy to book a telephone appointment and the mortgage advisor called on time. She was very friendly and personable and explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. Documents were received promptly and query I had was dealt with in a friendly efficient manner. ..... and the mortgage rates are good too! Top notch service! Reviewed on: 28th April 2023

Happy Customer

5
We've been really happy with the mortgage product and service we've received from Newbury Building Society over the years. It's really easy to speak to real people and get the information needed first time of asking. I can't think of a single issue we've had over the term of our mortgage and our customer experience has been fantastic. Reviewed on: 23rd April 2023

Great products, wonderful staff

5
I only needed a small mortgage and for a short period of time, nonetheless, I was treated as a special and treasured customer. The offers were very competitive and locally the Newbury Building Society has a very solid reputation. My mortgage broker was clear they are an honest and reputable company to do business with. I was thrilled with the personal customer service, I was not just a number. The staff were thoughtful, friendly, personable and efficient. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2023

Re-Mortgage to Newbury from Lloyds Bank

5
At the end of my mortgage term with Lloyds, they refused to extend the term to 2027. This left me with a choice between clearing the outstanding loan, taking every bit of cash and leaving nothing in reserve, re-mortgaging or selling another property or finding a new lender. My broker thankfully found Newbury and I now have a product that is superior to Lloyds in every way. Reviewed on: 21st April 2023
