Newbury Building Society Mortgages reviews (1282)

Straightforward, no nonsense bank

We got our mortgage through Newbury which was fixed for three years and ended in May of this year. They contacted us about a mortgage review, scheduled a meeting and gave us a better rate than we were on before. We didn't look around, but honestly even if there are better rates out there, the customer service you receive from Newbury is unmatched so that's a bonus in itself. Thanks to all the staff at Newbury, keep up the good work! Reviewed on: 28th May 2021

Excellent service

I have had a number of mortgages in the past but have remained with Newbury for nearly 20 years. Why? Because they have excellent staff and provide excellent service. I recently applied for an advance on my current mortgage and Newbury arranged it quickly and efficiently, keeping me informed during the whole process. Superb building society, I wouldn’t go use anyone else. Reviewed on: 28th May 2021

Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Your Thatcham office with whom I have dealt with for many, many years, with lots of different staff have always been brilliant. Reviewed on: 21st May 2021

NBS is REALLY helpful.

NBS were extremely helpful in explaining all the options available and making sure I was aware of new opportunities. The entire transaction went very smoothly and I felt supported every step of the way. Reviewed on: 19th May 2021

Due to remortgage. Very unhelpful.

We were due to remortgage. We weren’t promoted very far in advance and only received letters after already contacting Newbury ourselves. The phone hours are not very accessible for people who have full time jobs which makes this difficult. After finally obtaining a quote to renew our mortgage with Newbury (which would have been our preference) we were told there was no way they could produce a value anywhere near what we was currently paying nor anywhere near what other lenders were offering. Therefore we have had to leave and obtain a mortgage elsewhere. The lady on the phone was extremely unhelpful. How bad the service was had not been apparent to me until dealing with a new lender who has already communicated more with me than Newbury did over the 3 years we held a mortgage with them.

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Gemma - we are sorry to hear this and it is not the level of service we strive to provide - we have processes in place to contact mortgage customers and would like to investigate what went wrong in this instance - thank you for taking the time to let us know.

How well did 'The Newbury' do?

How well did you do...? Just fantastically well, that's all!! It's been like doing business with a good friend who's on-side. Karen has gone way, way over what we'd expect a good level of service to be. Unfailingly professional, pleasant and courteous and their entire team has shown flexibility and understanding throughout. Thank you so much. Richard and Nicola Reviewed on: 11th May 2021
