A very happy Old Man

At the end of our interest only buy to let mortgage deal, Newbury Building Society (NBS), contacted me. from the start to the end dealing with NBS was straight forward and simple. Their mortgage team could not have been more helpful and friendly. Being in my sixties i have deal with many different mortgage companies. Hand on heart no one have ever come close to the Service i got from NBS. Thank you NBS Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Good communication

Good communication on a slightly less than run of the mill re-mortgage with only one minor niggle that was resolved - Unlike the difficulty I had contacting our previous lender (big Spanish bank) and their automated system Oh and an unexpected but appreciated gift - Thankyou Reviewed on: 10th August 2022

very disappointed as to the termination of mortgage especially the mix messages that we were told that the loan would be extended

1
it was never made clear to us why the mortgage was called in as firstly we had never missed a payment and for some reason you had decided that we could not afford the payments Just to add, all of this was happening during the pandemic and we are both in the most at risk category we have documented the entire mortgage call in process with you but are not prepared to waste anymore time discussing it with you Reviewed on: 8th August 2022
Reply from Newbury Building Society We are sorry to hear of your disappointment of how we handled your mortgage when it reached the end of its term, especially during the pandemic. Any agreements to extend the mortgage term is subject to our affordability criteria at the time. We would be happy to look into this for you should you wish, can you please email us at marketing @ newbury.co.uk Response date: 9th August 2022
