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the welcome hamper but half of the coffee sachets were out if date as of November last year and the other half go out of date in 3 weeks time.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.
