Over 75's Mortgages

We needed to extend our mortgage period and found Newbury Building Society extremely efficient and helpful. Everyone was polite and helpful Reviewed on: 22nd October 2021

Flexible, accessible and helpful

As a 70 year old, I was pleasantly surprised to be able to get an interest-only mortgage for three years, during a period of marital upheaval. The Newbury was open and flexible about the options. When redeeming the mortgage, they were flexible about allowing this to happen a few weeks early so as to fit with the Government's stamp duty holiday, by waiving the early redemption penalty, this saving me several thousand pounds. It was always possible to speak to them without having to wait too long on the phone, thereby making discussion of options easy. Very good service overall. Reviewed on: 22nd October 2021

First class service... again

This is the second time we have organised our mortgage with the Newbury. The service was excellent and always with our best interests at heart. Most importantly, everything is done by Humans so things are considered on a real-world case by case basis. There's no blanket "computer says no" approach here. Things are talked through in a sensible and practical way so all relevant information is taken on board. Reviewed on: 22nd October 2021

Completely Hassle free

The Newbury Building Society was recommended by our IFA. The whole process of obtaining a mortgage went like clockwork. The communication from staff at the Newbury on the phone, by email and letter was exemplary. Reviewed on: 18th October 2021

The support provided has been exemplary in all areas

We have very little cause to contact Newbury Building Society because our mortgage has always run well. When we recently made an overpayment enquiry, it was refreshing to have someone answer the phone promptly and deal with our enquiry swiftly with confirmation received by post the next day. Cannot fault the service. Reviewed on: 18th October 2021

Easily approachable and highly competent.

Difficulties arose with a Land Registry issue and the manner in which this was resolved was quite superb. Reviewed on: 18th October 2021
