SVR not come down after 3 interest rate cuts. SVR not come down after 3 interest rate cuts. Savings rates have come down. SVR goes up immediately interest rates go up. Gross profiteering imo. Reviewed on: 25th March 2025

These guys have stuck by us through a tough process from the beginning of our self build right through to completion. It's impossible to portray in a small review piece what they've done, but they were the only lender that would help us being so remote (Orkney) and they facilitated our dream. Lana Beech was our advisor throughout, she's experienced me at my best and at my worst and I can never really thank her properly other than to tell everyone through this review process how her hard work and efforts facilitated what was the most stressful experience of our lives. Thank you from the two of us and we'll speak to you again in a couple of years time! Reviewed on: 22nd April 2026

Complicated mortgage products made understandable.

5
As a first time self-builder the task before you can be daunting, particularly when purchase finance against existing property is involved even before the self-build elements get started. No need to worry, Lana will show you the way in a clear, concise and friendly fashion. Always quick to respond with positivity and wit, the whole organisation has been a joy to deal with. Why can’t more organisations work like this? Reviewed on: 26th February 2026

I would like to thank Lana Beech at Hanley Economic Building Society for her excellent support throughout my mortgage application. Lana was consistently friendly, professional, and extremely efficient, and she was particularly helpful in guiding me through a challenging and complex valuation stage. Her clear communication, persistence, and willingness to help made a very stressful process far more manageable. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with a mortgage application, especially where additional complexity is involved. Reviewed on: 5th February 2026
