Review of the Newbury Building Society, Savings:

Really friendly, helpful staff and also easy to add funds by internet as well.

I met staff of Newbury Building Society at Abingdon Air Show and liked the sound of the account which I subsequently opened in branch. The service I received in branch was very good and the whole process was very smooth. Since then I have used internet access which again is very user-friendly (I'm not computer-savvy, so need simple systems!). Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Purchase of additional property

We required an additional loan to our existing mortgage in order to purchase a neighbouring property, which holds a covenant on our own house plot. We were able to negotiate a deal which suited our needs and were impressed with the speed and efficiency in completing the transaction and are grateful to Luke for his help and guidance throughout the negotiations making it a stress free experience.
