Review of the Newbury Building Society, Mortgages:

Gave what other companies didn't

5
I have been with Newbury since 2014 and they are/were the only company that recognised a services injury pension when applying for a mortgage...the other companies basically said the computer says no'. Thus I recommend The Newbury to everyone, they are professional, friendly, approachable and go out of their way to help. My mortgage advisor, Angela Bradshaw is just the best and has simply gone above and beyond to help and advise. Simply the best company who treat you as an individual with individual needs and not a computer statistic Reviewed on: 30th April 2021

Made buying my first house relatively easy!

5
All the people I dealt with sorting out my 1st ever mortgage were very helpful especially Lauren who I dealt with the most. Very quick at replying to messages and one of the easiest companies I've dealt with in a while to get through to on the phone. Good mortgage rate too. Reviewed on: 6th December 2024

We were difficult!

5
We were difficult customers in the eyes of a bank, so it was refreshing to find a company who were willing to listen and treat our case on an individual basis. We had returned to the UK having lived in Europe for 24 years and were nearing pension. They approved our mortgage and were are very happy. Reviewed on: 6th December 2024

Kaylie Tingle - Mortgage Advisor

Met over the telephone with Kaylie Tingle who ran through everything with us asking lots of security questions and questions relevant to our mortgage needs. She gave clear advice and guidance and explained how the Building Society could help us and continue working with us when our current product expired. Professional service. Felt reassured after the call. Reviewed on: 21st November 2024

Excellent remortgage appointment with Luke Pummell

5
I had a remortgage appointment. Beforehand I was a little confused as to what the change would do and if it would impact negatively but I was reassured brilliantly by Luke Pummell. He was very clear, concise and make it clear in my head what my remortgage rate would be and the what the changes would mean for me. He gave excellent and informative advice and put me at ease. He was also very friendly and we had a good chat about the rugby happening that same day. He emailed me all the information and I am very satisfied with the service. Excellent all round!
