Friendly and supportive

We recently had a mortgage with the Hanley which I felt was a smooth and easy process. As we are fist time buyers Jane explained everything to us in detail and nothing was ever too much trouble. She made us feel comfortable every step of the way.

There were some nuances to our application which Lana quickly got to the bottom of and discussed with Credit to ensure there would not be further issues down the line. She managed expectations and delivered on promises to call at the times she said she would. Lana was very accessible and responded to emails / voicemails promptly. Despite no doubt having a large caseload, Lana has an incredible knack of making you feel looked after and you have confidence that your application won't be lost in a black hole.

Despite the application process being excellent, responses from Underwriting took far too long and required chasing several times by Lana. To make the process from end to end as good as it can be, this is an area which requires much improvement.

My dealings with Hanley Economic were with excellent. I was looking for advice for a Retirement Interest Only Mortgage. This required a lot of detailed questioning to ensure a good fit of product to me. Jane did this in a friendly and professional manner. She flagged an area that needed review and came back with an answer quickly. Be great if all financial advisors were like this!

I have just completed my house purchase with a retirement mortgage with the Hanley after shopping around for a suitable product. The application process was very straightforward, helped tremendously by Mark who guided me through it all with friendly professionalism. I can't thank him enough. My dealings with other team members such as Michelle have also been exemplary. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Hanley.

Lana made this process stress free and was always on the other end of the phone if I had any questions and would always come back with an answer, even if it meant going out of her way to find the answer. Can’t thank her enough for everything she did from start to finish and still after we’d finished she was happy to help.

Be very careful if you are renewing your mortgage. The Hanley promise flexibility if you need to change your product but then hit you with all sorts of fees and just basically make it impossible. It's a shame because when I first went with them it was a great experience but now it's just one nightmare after the next!

I recently took on a Retirement Interest Only Mortgage with the Hanley. I shopped around with other organisations, but they had neither the product or the people to compete.
The mortgage is really simple and straightforward, and early repayment is penalty-free, which was a key requirement for me.
However the real deciding factor for me was the support of Jane Longmore, Mortgage Advisor. Jane took me through the process carefully, explaining everything fully. She was prompt in replying to my emails and voicemails and proactive catching up with me by phone throughout. She even sent me a 'New Home' card, which was a lovely touch.
I would recommend the company to anyone looking for a mortgage. Excellent!

Over the past few months I have been dealing with Lana at the Hanley to apply for our first self build mortgage. What should be a very daunting process as we knew very little has honestly been incredible. Lana is an expert, super friendly, approachable and couldn’t be any more helpful. She has honestly made this experience a dream and has lifted a lot of the stress off our shoulders. She guided us throughout the whole process giving us all of the information we need and is so knowledgeable. I am so pleased we chose to go with the Hanley and would recommend it to all other self builders, I couldn’t fault them at all! Thank you so so much!
