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

Remortgage

Recently completed a remortgage with the support of Lana Beech (Mortgage Advisor). Couldn't have asked for a better service from Lana. Friendly, communicative, knowledgable and responsive. Nothing was too much trouble. Outstanding service. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 1st August 2024

Lana was lovely, professional and cared

I recently completed on my house purchase with The Hanley. My mortgage advisor was Lana. Lana was amazing. She made the process seamless. She gave us updates throughout. She made us aware upfront of what we needed so we could provide all the documents so nothing would be delayed. She was so lovely and friendly. She even sent us a congratulations card when we moved in, which we both said was a lovely touch. I would recommend The Hanley as they have a fantastic advisor (Lana) and the products offered were really good compared to other lenders. Reviewed on: 31st July 2024

Couldn’t recommend enough

5
The guidance and support we received throughout, made the whole process as stress free as possible. Choosing a local building society made us feel like we were in very safe hands as we were provided a service that hasn’t been matched elsewhere in our experience. Couldn’t recommend enough.

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

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
