Review of the Newcastle Building Society, Lifetime ISA:

Incompetent

Applied online and told to either fund account before it was open or wait till postal confirmation saying it’s open. No confirmation received months after so thanking my lucky stars I did not send my money into a black hole!! Off to find a company that can actually open an account... Reviewed on: 4th July 2019

Easy to open and great account

The online journey was simple and the account will help save for a house deposit Reviewed on: 15th January 2022

Wish I Had Not Switched

I chose to switch my LISA from a stocks and shares to cash and as Newcastle had the best interest rate at the time I switched to them. I now massively regret not reading the reviews. It took 2 months to transfer the money between the accounts and this meant I nearly missed the deadline for receiving my bonus. I also never received details for online banking and had to go through a painful process of letters and calls to get access. I am now in the process of drawing the money out for the purchase of my home and hope that I have a smoother experience then when I put it in. If doing again I would avoid Newcastle at the expense of the extra 0.2% interest I would earn. Reviewed on: 17th October 2019

Poor customer and extremely slow service

I applied for mortgage with Newcastle. The mortgage was agreed in principle and valuation was done on 2 April 2019 and I am still waiting for my mortgage offer. What a disgrace. I am sorry I applied and thoroughly disgusted with the pace. I am ashamed to be associated with Newcastle. Reviewed on: 28th May 2019

Long-term saving

Easy to open, great customer service and my idea of a really great offer. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019
