Top Building Society..

What an amazing building society ... we've had mortgages with them since 1994 they were the only building society which could provided us with the money we needed to buy in our preferred area at the start, so will always be thankful for that .The Abingdon branch were very understanding when needing to borrow more money for our second and third homes. Wouldn't go anywhere else would definitely be first on the list if we need to borrow in the future .. Very competitive.. Will always be grateful thank you Newbury building society Gordon Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Great company

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
