Re-mortgage

I was notified with plenty of time before my fixed deal ended and following discussions on branch with their Excellent Mortgage Advisor we agreed on a re-mortgage which best suited my circumstances. The rate is exceptionally competitive with no charges. Reviewed on: 15th October 2022

Excellent personal service throughout

Ella, our mortgage advisor was excellent throughout the whole process; courteous, informative and helpful. The underwriting team were also helpful and easily contactable. Our remortgage completed on schedule. It makes a big difference dealing with “real” people as opposed to staff in call centres. Reviewed on: 14th October 2022

Amazing above and beyond service from Eve

After finding out a booked appointment was going to be delayed until end of October at the earliest, I remembered I had dealt with Eve before who contacted me and sorted out a new deal from me in very quick time! I can't stress how important it is to have someone go above and beyond like that in a stressful time and really appreciate her doing what she can to fit us in! Thank you once again!!

Slow and delayed my moving in date

I submitted my mortgage application quickly to try save time however Newbury were slow to process my application at every step. It took over a week after my initial application to notify me that I needed to submit further documentation, then 4 weeks to arrange the valuation, then 3 weeks from the valuation to provide me with my offer. All of these wait times were over the advised timeframes provided by Newbury, which added uncertainty to the process, creating additional stress for myself on an already stressful situation. The delays waiting for the offer to be submitted almost resulted in me being homeless as the lease on my old home ran out during the period of waiting as I expected to have completed the process a month prior and move into my new home, however without the offer from Newbury I was unable to complete my house purchase. I was not povided with any reasonable excuses for the delays or updates on the progress of my application. Reviewed on: 11th October 2022

Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for letting us know about this and we are truly sorry for the uncertainty and stress this has caused you. There have been delays throughout the mortgage lending industry in the last 3-4 months, largely due to the economic factors and this has affected availability of surveyors to carry out valuations due to the increased demand. This is not unique to Newbury Building Society and we have put in additional support to assist our teams to deal with applications as quickly as we can. That said, we would like the opportunity to talk to you about your experience and see if there is anything with your particular case that would help us improve what we do. If you email us at [email protected] we can ask one of our senior managers to do this. Thank you. Response date: 13th October 2022
