Application for further mortgage advance

5
Your mortgage advisor provided me with exemplary service. We had very tight timelines and a couple of difficulties along the way and we always felt that Eve went above and beyond in helping us with timely, good advice and in fighting our corner when the underwriters were overzealous and asked for unnecessary actions. We have always found Newbury staff the best of all building society staff we have dealt with but Eve excelled beyond our (high) expectations. Reviewed on: 18th March 2022

Good value product and efficient process

4
I transferred from a self build loan. Although the initial investigations were extensive and seemed more intrusive than necessary , the process was smooth and it was a very good offer. Documentation was simple and processes clearly explained. I considered various providers but this was the best one for me. Reviewed on: 18th March 2022

Excellent customer service from well informed staff

5
Application handled online and staff were always available to assist, no waiting on the phone for hours or having to leave messages in the hope that some one will return your call. Staff are well informed and found the best mortgage for my needs. I would highly recommend Newbury Building Society and don't know why I haven't used them before. Reviewed on: 11th March 2022

We All Like A Happy Ending

4
We wanted to increase and extend our existing mortgage following an IHT review. The initial answer to the question was YES IN PRINCIPAL, so great start. Then came the forms, followed by more forms. Not that complicated with hindsight but persistent and full of jargon. Why abbreviate when you are writing to Joe Public? Tell us what you need to know in plain language without cloaking! That gripe over, we were well supported generally and once the ‘I’s and ‘t’s were sorted everything was completed in good time, leading to a happy ending! Reviewed on: 4th March 2022

Professional yet friendly service

5
Fabulous customer service from the professional yet friendly agent I dealt with. Her product knowledge was exceptional & was made to feel like a truly valued customer. Although did have to chase a few weeks later as hadn’t received documents that were promised but really wasn’t an issue. Would definitely recommend the Newbury to friends or family & would consider using again in the future. Well done guys. Reviewed on: 26th February 2022
