Extremely flexible way of doing business.

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the welcome hamper but half of the coffee sachets were out if date as of November last year and the other half go out of date in 3 weeks time.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. Reviewed on: 6th February 2023

Reply from Newbury Building Society We would like to talk to you directly about this experience, please email us at marketing @newbury.co.uk and we will be contacting our welcome box provider about the short dated items, we apologise again for this and hope to be in touch soon.

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
