Clare was very thorough and made the process easy to understand. I felt pleased with all of the options offered and the questions given to help me make the right choice for myself. I liked that she also emailed me some information on product transfers before our phone call so I could do some research in preparation. Read more Read less

Newbury provided a self-build product and during the build and undervalued the build and refused to provide next tranche of cash so I had to take a personal loan to keep it going. Every single estate agent, builder and local person knows that the land alone was worth more than the value they placed on the build, but thier surveyor was way off. Even worse than this, on completion they again undervalued so I didnt have the required LTV. I had 4 independant valuations at £300k more than thier valuation. They shouldnt offer self-build mortgages if they cannot work with clients. Avoid - their in-house surveyor ruins everything with his stupid valuations and I has to pay £12k to get out of the product and find a decent lender - now have all the funds at 75% LTV because they use an independant surveyor report and the valuation is correct. AVOID AT ALL COSTS Read more Read less
