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

Great customer service

5
We have been with The Hanley since we bought as first time buyers. They have always looked after us and the recent mortgage renewal process was no exception. They were extremely efficient with sending out our renewal options and were both clear and thorough when talking us through what each of them meant for us. Despite not being the cheapest on the market, the customer service is exceptional and we were happy to renew. Reviewed on: 9th July 2024

Jane Longmore, Mortgage Advisor, introduced me to a RIO mortgage which fitted my requirements perfectly. She was very knowledgeable, courteous and efficient and had a very pleasant personality. Not pushy at all but explained everything about RIO mortgages that the Building Society offered. My application was completed carefully and thoroughly and everything completed within the expected time line. I would highly recommend Jane and the Hanley Economic to anyone seeking a mortgage and I readily give a 5 star review. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2024

Highly Recommended

5
Hanley Economic are superb. Lana guided us efficiently throughout the whole process, completing the application within a matter of hours and regularly keeping us up to date with developments as our mortgage passed through the various stages. From beginning to end, it was clear that Hanley wanted to help and everyone made things as easy as possible. Thank you! Reviewed on: 2nd July 2024

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

First time buyer

5
I chose to take my first mortgage out with Hanley due to their highly competitive rates. My mortgage advisor Jane was lovely and really helpful, the process overall was a bit slow but this due to a backlog with the over writers. Reviewed on: 17th April 2024

Easy to switch my mortgage to Hanley

Lana Beech dealt with my mortgage enquiries and application. She had made a complex journey really smooth and easy. She always replies to my enquiries on a timely manner. Hanley also offered a flexible mortgage product that suits our needs. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2024

Lifetime tracker and Anna mortgage advisor

Anna dealt with my mortgage enquiries and application and made a potentially complex journey really painless and easy. She always replies to emails in a timely manner and was so pleasant to speak to on the phone. Hanley also offered a great mortgage product that I couldn’t find anywhere else.
