New Mortgage Application

We selected Newbury B.S. because the apply a flexible approach to lending. They were willing to accommodate our specific requirement of having a dual mortgage but a single ownership Reviewed on: 13th November 2021

Straight forward and easy application

We already had a mortgage with Newbury Building Society and we applied to transfer it to our new property. The transaction could not be simultaneous and there is likely to be a difference of four weeks. We have been charged An early redemption fee which is apparently not refundable. Why couldn’t’ the existing mortgage just be continued if the monthly interest was paid.? Reviewed on: 13th November 2021

Even though we are an existing customer, we were really pleased with the mortgage advisor and the products recommended. Communication was excellent at every stage and the turnaround time was quite fast overall. We are very happy with the whole experience and can highly recommend the NBS.

Got a a phone call and email to say we needed to change our Mortgage Product and it will save us money too which was nice to hear. All sorted fast and efficiently, everything explained thoroughly. It’s good to deal with a local Building Society that we can easily contact or visit if we have any problems too. Reviewed on: 5th November 2021

I recently switched my self-build mortgage to a residential one. The adviser that I spoke to was friendly, informative and understanding of my needs. I was able to switch to a product which is perfect for me. Would happily recommend! Reviewed on: 4th November 2021

From initial engagement with Eve, support from Hannah in underwriting, to interaction with any staff at The Newbury, the service provided during our self build, novation of our mortgage from Self Build to Repayment and the subsequent additional facility to consolidate mortgages on two properties into one has been nothing but excellent. Other service organisations, particularly in the financial sector should try and emulate the customer experience and superb service. A stand out organisation compared to their peers.
