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

Review of the Hanley Economic Building Society, Mortgages:

Avoid these chancers

1
In short I run a BTL business which obviously has a mortgage liability but runs at a consistently high profit. Hanley rejected my application for a personal mortgage (so completely separate to my Ltd) because of the liability attached to my Ltd, but refused to consider the cash flow that the Ltd generates. They took so long to come to a decision that I am now unable to find an alternative lender and will have to stick with my current provider at a higher rate. This is really basic stuff - if they are getting it so wrong at this level I can only imagine how poorly run the rest of the business is. Avoid at all costs. Reviewed on: 21st June 2024

A great bank to deal with, straight forward, always available to chat about things, upfront and honest. Dealing with them has been so easy. So much so we stayed at the end of our initial deal and took a new one. They definitely have the personal touch that loads of banks lack. Reviewed on: 6th February 2025

Hanley is really reliable and on your side

I've had a fixed rate mortgage with Hanley since 2015, the first term ended in 2020 and the second one will end this December. I found Hanley very helpful in explaining what my different options were and I've been fortunate in getting a very reasonable rate throughout. Given my age (75) my mortgage options were limited but Hanley gave me a very competitive rate (currently 2.9%) despite this. Reviewed on: 6th February 2025
