My son applied for a mortgage with the Hanley as a first time buyer. Jane Longmore was his Mortgage Advisor. From my observations Jane explained the requirements and responsibilities of buying a home and guided my son through the various stages from application to approval. Buying a house is not straight forward but with the help of Jane and the obvious teamwork at the Hanley the various obstacles were overcome. My son has recently completed the purchase of his house and is delighted with the help that he received from the Hanley. Thank you very much.

Where to start? Began mortgage application 6 weeks ago with requests for various bits of paperwork. Every time we expected a valuation date before a formal mortgage offer was given more paperwork was chased even though much of it contained the same information they had already been provided with. After 5 weeks, I rang through to speak to the underwriter dealing with our application as was told she had gone off on sick and not sent through the paperwork to my place of employment after stating she would do it imminently. The case was passed on to a new underwriter who hadn’t updated herself with the case notes so didn’t have a clue what they were waiting for (ironic considering we didn’t either!) the following week it was assigned to yet another case worker who evidently only worked part time and wanted yet again, more paperwork. This was sent through and she stated she would review this within 24 hours. Not sure which clock she was going by but 5 days later she left us on hold for almost an hour and the office kept telling us she was on lunch (for almost 2 hours) and still wouldn’t return our call. In the end she declared she couldn’t help us even though our solicitors were waiting to complete pending formal mortgage offer! In the midst of this we were awaiting a date with 2 small children needing to move out of rented accommodation within the next 2 weeks. The amount of stress and anxiety caused by this absolute joke of a company is endless! Would never recommend, (text edited by Smart Money People).

I dealt with Lana. Initially I was concerned as it took a while to get a phone appointment, but once I did everything moved very quickly. I struggled finding a mortgage due to a high LTV with a new build property, but Lana and the Hanley came to my rescue. Lana was thorough, efficient and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and she answered any and all of my questions very quickly (usually within a couple of hours of asking them!) Lana was also super helpful at completion as my solicitor was dragging his feet and she made sure the Hanley sent over requested details super quickly allowing me to complete when needed. All in all, it was a pleasure to deal with Lana and the Hanley and I would recommend them.

Absolutely faultless. They were always more than happy to help with queries from the very initial phone call right the way through to completion (and I had a lot of queries/questions/problems but I always felt they were more than happy to help and answer.) I even received a lovely "welcome" phone call on the morning of completion. I had the pleasure of dealing with Jane and she was amazing. Thank you!! :-)

Just had to say a few words of thanks to the staff at 'The Hanley' for their patience, effort, understanding and good humour throughout my mortgage application. Not only was the mortgage product and associated insurance cover much better than anything else on the market; but the help, guidance and information provided was invaluable. There were a few occasions when it looked as though I would not be able to complete the application process but the staff never gave up and we are now building our house. I must give particular thanks to Jane Longmore who never gave up trying and ultimately succeeding in processing my application- were are truly grateful for all you have done. Thanks. If ever I have need of a mortgage again my first call will be to the Hanley.

Over two months and not got an offer yet. They are apparently understaffed!!! The delay is not down to any fault my end - I have an excellent credit check score and a good job- but is just them asking for ridiculous info from years back. And I’m only remortgaging with them. I pity anyone looking for a mortgage to buy a property. They are way over the time scale they quoted for the offer. They might have some of the best deals but what good is that if they don’t make offers.

I had a bit of a unique situation regarding my mortgage being accepted, after dealing with various high street banks I spoke to The Hanley on recommendation.

From there on wards they took on board everything and found a solution that helped us going forward. I had excellent and professional service from start to finish, I received regular calls to see how everything was moving along which show they care about their clients they have and want you to help wherever needed.

I will happily recommend anyone to use The Hanley going forward.

I'd just like to thank everyone at The Hanley and especially Jane Longmore for the amazing service I received over my process.

We received an absolutely fantastic and professional service from the Hanley - In particular our mortgage advisor Lana.

After a bad experience with a high street bank we approached the Hanley and can not fault the experience in any way. We were kept up to date, emails answered quickly and efficiently. Absolutely everything was easy and professional.

We were constantly kept up to date, explanations given in understandable terms - Lana is an absolute star!

We have only just recently been approved for our mortgage with the Hanley, but from the start of the mortgage application process we have been pleased with the service. We have dealt with our advisor, Jane, right from the start and she has been friendly and helpful throughout. She helped us to navigate the information we needed to provide to make our application, and was with us all the way. We chose the Hanley for its ethical credentials, and would now also choose them based on their customer focus too. Thank you to everyone involved in our application, especially Jane who worked so hard on our behalf.

They lead you on asking for upfront fees. I paid then was refused product and it was non refundable . I was told not to worry about fee. As I would get mortgage. Absolutely the worst.
My advice go to an independent advisor much better.
Avoid th economic at all costs

Having only used banks for mortgages in the past I was really impressed with how friendly and helpful Jane Longmore has been throughout the whole process of taking out my mortgage.

Jane made the whole process from start to finish easy, efficient and very personal - I cannot recommend Jane (and the Hanley) highly enough.

Thanks for all your help!
