Advantages: Excellent, personal and competitive service Disadvantages: Not everyone realises how good they are!
...An excellent local BuildingSociety that prides itself on quality of service. Provided you yourself make the effort to be an honest, reliable and geuine client, you will find this organisation will do its utmost to offer a quality of service that is quite unique.
Mortgage Products are constantly improving and the rates are not as generous as the high street but the service levels also way exceed the high street. However for flexibility and understanding, they cannot be matched. In addition, there is a range of competitive savings products.
Its an organisation that takes time out to actually listen to its clients needs and does its best to match a product and service to suit you.
A great company to do business with....

Advantages: Very efficient and helpful Disadvantages: No branches in London
...The Newcastle BuildingSociety is great for mortgages. We have never had any problems with them and the service when I have phoned up with queries is very good.

The mortgage rates from the Newcastle BuildingSociety are very competitive. When we took the original mortgage deal out everything was dealt with very efficiently and the paperwork was done quickly. Since then when we have re-mortgaged, again all paperwork was done very quickly and efficiently.
I would definitely recommend...

Since my mortgage will be a large proportion of my income again I wanted to have some security that interest rates wouldn't rise too much so I decided on a capped or fixed rate - the schemes offered by the Coventry BuildingSociety are;
Capped - 5.99% until 31.8.05
Fixed - 5.75% until 30.9.02
They also do some competitive discounted rates;
1.10% discounted until 30.9.04
2.25% discounted until 30.9.02
Plus a couple of stepped discounted rates.
The icing on the cake is that Coventry is still a mutual buildingsociety and you will benefit from any windfall from conversion! They also have a very user...
