Newbury Building Society Mortgages reviews (1363)

All round, an excellent society capturing all we need with competitive rates,

We re-mortgaged to Newbury because of their independence and competitive rates. Every application is complicated/burdensome these days, but the Newbury one was handled well by friendly and responsive staff Reviewed on: 6th April 2022

Attractive product at a reasonable rate that treated a self-invested pension plan as an asset not a liability

I was trying to remortgage on the basis of income from a SIPP. A number of the large lenders would not even consider my SIPP as an asset. Newbury Building Society offered a sensible and pragmatic approach to determining affordability, on the basis of projected drawdown income from my SIPP. The discussions were quick, simple and painless. An offer was made, accepted and executed. It's good to see a building society taking a common sense approach to this relatively new type of pension provision, as a basis to offer quality financial products. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

New mortgage

As a first time buyer, I am happy with the service provided. The only slight negative, was the wait between the valuation and the mortgage offer, but after this, I was in within 6 days! The welcome box that was delivered was a lovely additional extra! Reviewed on: 2nd April 2022

Helpful, polite

Have had a very pleasant experience, the person who has dealt with mine and my sisters needs has been very helpful, very welcoming on our phone calls, provided the information that was needed to help us just all together a nice pleasant experience.

Remortgaging

Very happy with the new rate that was agreed but the team took over a month to get it implemented meaning we have overpaid on our first month. Other than that, helpful & friendly. Reviewed on: 28th March 2022
