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!

The people at Hanley have been extremely helpful, professional and personable through all my interactions with them in the process of setting up my mortgage. Always friendly, personable, and highly professional, I have really enjoyed working with them. I feel dealt with as a person, not a number, and just for this reason alone would recommend anyone to work with them - quite apart from the punctuality, responsiveness and clarity with which they have demonstrated every step of the way.

Recently took my second mortgage with the Hanley. I was initially attracted by the most competitive rates for the type of mortgage I wanted. However, what soon became apparent dealing with the Hanley was that I had a readily available single point of contact for all my mortgage questions and needs. I find this very unusual nowadays when dealing with financial institutions but the positive difference it makes to the customer cannot be over-stated. Several years later I moved and needed another mortgage and was taken care of by the same mortgage advisor who remembered me And gave me the same standard of exceptional customer service. I would therefore like to mention Jane Longmore personally and say a big thank you for making the process as painless as possible x 2.

I only have 1 point of very minor feedback for the Hanley. It is utter trivia in the grand scheme of a mortgage but in the interest of offering constructive Help: My solicitors did not know that the transfer fee would be deducted from my mortgage when deposited into their holding account. This resulted in a slight delay on the day of completion because the expected totals didn’t quite add up. Easily solved with a phone call and paying the difference. Very minor but useful feedback I hope.

I recently completed a self build mortgage with The Hanley Economic. I can honestly say this was the easiest mortgage I have ever obtained. Outstanding customer service from Lana, absolute credit to the company. Always made time to explain and go the extra mile. Shows a genuine interest in your project and is always there every step of the way offering help and support. Lana is outstanding in her role and prompt in returning calls and emails. I would highly recommend The Hanley Economic to anyone who is considering a mortgage.
Thank you :-)

I initially had a new build mortgage with the Hanley after every other source of funding refused to finance my project. Lana was so professional from the start but she also explained all of the process to me from the beginning to the end. Without the Hanley Economic Building Society I would never have finished my project which is now the best looking house in our street and something that I am very proud of achieving. After my project was finished, the pandemic started and I was concerned that I may lose my project build and also my first property. In stepped the Hanley again and allowed me to refinance to an interest only mortgage which took away all of the worries that I had. All of the staff that I dealt with there were absolutely brilliant and so helpful. I can definitely say that they all went above & beyond their remit to help me. I still occasionally chat to Lana now just to let her know about life in general and she is always a pleasure to speak to. If any of the other building societies or banks happen to read this review, then please take a leaf out of the Hanley Economic Building Society's book and get your staff to behave like theirs! They are all a credit to their employer.

I contacted the Hanley after finding them via a Google search for the type of mortgage I was looking for, and the whole process was plain sailing from start to finish. Jane Longmore was my contact throughout and kept me fully up to date with progress. She even sent me a 'New Home' card, which was a lovely touch, and followed up with a phone call a couple of days after my purchase completed. I would recommend the Hanley to anyone looking for a smooth and trouble free transaction.

We chose Hanley after speaking to numerous Self Build mortgage providers and brokers. All
had lengthy application waiting times because
of Christmas/New Year holidays and pandemic. However, the Hanley Mortgage Advisor, Lana Beech listened to why our case was urgent and despite her busy schedule, fitted us in at short notice and went the extra mile to process our application before the holiday period.

She was friendly and professional, always replied promptly to any questions and/or concerns. Waiting for the underwriters to approve was very stressful, but she made the
process so much easier.

We would highly recommend The Hanley.
