Brilliant

5
Absolutely wonderful customer service. It’s nice to feel a valid part of an organisation. That is something that you do not get as much nowadays so it’s nice to see. I also appreciate the option to be able to speak to a staff member instead of an automated robot as every situation and request is unique. The society really understands that.

When I go into Andover Branch staff are always very helpful and efficient. Reviewed on: 9th March 2021

Buy to let mortgage-straightforward

5
We are Brits currently living in France and retirement age wanting a property back in UK. This put off most lenders but not Newbury. The application process was straightforward and information needed easy to supply. This was made easier by direct communications with the underwriting team. Our application was quickly agreed and the survey completed quickly despite the busy market. Okay the fees and rates are a little high but I guess to be expected for our circumstance. The 3 year early repayment penalty does not reduce over that term which is a shame. Draw down of the mortgage was easy. Any contact with Newbury was always handled in a friendly and professional way. Overall very pleased with the experience. Reviewed on: 9th March 2021
