No formal receipt when I redeemed my mortgage.

Having paid a large amount of money by bank transfer from my Bank Branch, to redeem my mortgage I received no receipt or email to confirm that the money had actually been received, or had reached my account. After a week or more I rang to be told yes it had been received but did not receive anything in writing for a further 2 weeks. Quite worrying as I had paid a lot of money and then had no confirmation officially. Otherwise my experience whilst I had a mortgage with the NBS was excellent. Reviewed on: 25th April 2025

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hello Mike - we are sorry that you did not receive confirmation that we had received your funds to close your account, as you should have received a text on the date of receipt. We will review our process to ensure that this happens for other customers. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and highlighting to us that this was missed.

My broker recommended the Newbury Building Society.

I was recommended to consider a Newbury Building Society mortgage by my broker. They had a very competitive mortgage offer which matched the type of deal that best suited my criteria. All of the paperwork was turned around promptly, as was their communication with me and my broker. This mortgage could not have been easier to complete. Reviewed on: 11th April 2025
