Absolutely Superb Customer Service!

I decided to change my mortgage supplier from a very large national society to The Newbury Building Society quite a few years ago. The main reason being was that I never felt valued and was treated as just a number and not a person. The Newbury is so very different. On each and every occasion I have had to deal with them, I have found them very friendly and ever so helpful. The offer superb customer service. I have recently repaid my mortgage. I would give the highest recommendation to anyone who is looking to take out a mortgage to go to the Newbury Building Society as they are simply the best! Reviewed on: 19th March 2021
