Very efficient and professional staff and very good with products and rates in the sector of the mortgage world I operate in. If I cannot recommend them to a client, it is quite a disappointment. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Applying for a Mortgage in later life

Tremendous service from start to finish. Once she heard I had arranged a mortgage with Newbury Building Society, my solicitor said that it would all be handled really efficiently - and she was absolutely right! I am so fed up with many firms blaming Covid for their poor service levels - they would do well to learn from the Newbury BS. This is what great Customer Service looks like. The icing on the cake was the delivery of the Survival Box today - some much needed goodies after a hectic few days of moving and unpacking! Reviewed on: 26th March 2021

Professional, personal and a very high standard of customer service

Throughout every dealing that we have had with Newbury Building society over the past almost four years in connection with our mortgage, we have always been dealt with immediately, professionally and matters have been actioned faultlessly and most importantly for us, each and every time we are genuinely made to feel a valued customer and that wherever possible, our requirements are met and therefore we feel that we receive a very personal service which from our experience, is very rare indeed in this field and as a result, Newbury Building society employees, their managers and members, should feel very proud of this achievement and in our view, deserve to again be recognised within the British banking awards.
