We went with Newbury for our first mortgage and was really worrying when it came round to our deal came to a end but Newbury were nothing but great. Explained everything so clearly, answered all our questions and reassured us and couldn't do anymore then they already did for us!

Small but mighty

As I used a help to buy scheme, the turn around to get my house had to be quick for valuation reasons. Newbury building society were experienced in this, could offer me the appropriate mortgage that a lot of places wouldn’t for a part ownership and turned it around very quickly with little hassle on my part. They feel more personable and care more than a giant company. So happy to be with them. Reviewed on: 8th March 2021

Amazing service - truly above and beyond

5
Newbury dealt with quite a unique situation in an incredible manor. I am an expat living in Belgium and was able to get offered a good rate and was impressed with the responsiveness at every step of the process. The entire service from beginning to end was exceptional. I would like to call a special shout out to Ella Bright who managed my case and was a delight to work with. Upon mortgage completion I also received a beautiful box of settling in gifts! Thanks a lot :) Reviewed on: 2nd March 2021
