Glad to be getting away!

1
I had a Buy to let mortgage with the Society which was originally at a good rate; the Truss madness resulted in this increasing by almost 300% I appreciate that this was not the Society‘s fault but there was no help at all when I started the selling process (with the tenants moved out) and I had to weather months of £1100 per month expenditure. The icing on the cake was £3500 of early repayment charges. I am simply glad to be getting away from NBS! Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Retirement interest only mortgage

Easy to set up a phone interview and answered all my questions. Only issue I had was at application stage, as I wanted a retirement mortgage I had to book twice. Saying that all staff were polite and helpful. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

..Six star service

I have been with the Newbury for many years and they have consistently displayed amazing customer service, excellent advice, patience and kindness. Nothing has ever been too much trouble and when many other societies would not help, the Newbury did and excelled. When the computer in other institutions 'said no', the Newbury's said 'yes' !

You came up with a decent rate and we have enjoyed being with you so decided to stay - we were disappointed that you charged a set-up fee though, that seemed a little unnecessary when we are already Members. Reviewed on: 9th August 2024
