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

Hanley Economic Building Society Mortgages reviews (309)

Amazing, Stress Free, Experience with the Human Touch

5
My wife and I have just remortgaged with the Hanely, having taken a mortgage with them a few years ago to buy a new build house. They are a joy to deal with compared to some of our experiences in the past. Simple, straight forward communication both on the phone, with really knowledgeable members of staff and in writing. They are happy to talk you through the process and our remortgage, on a really competitive deal, could not have been any more straight forward. I would recommend them to everyone. This is banking as it should be. Reviewed on: 10th June 2022

Professional, Swift, and Informative

My husband and I were seeking additional funds for our self-build mortgage. The mortgage advisor, Jane Longmore, was so helpful, professional, and informative. The full process was very smooth, and the additional funding request was approved in record time. Would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 6th April 2022

Excellent personal service

Our Mortgage Advisor was very customer focussed, responsive to our request and gave us the right information to make informed decisions. Our needs were quite specific as we were funding a significant house renovation. She understood our needs and was very clear about what was possible and not possible with the products available.

Lana was a legend!

Me and my wife had a very individual situation, moving from Singapore to then being self-employed in the UK had its own rings to jump through. As soon as we approached the Hanely we had a very welcoming and helpful team help us obtain and sort a mortgage to buy our dream home. Throughout the process, we had our own advisor (Lana) who not only was very helpful she was also very understanding and personable with our situation. I'm not going to stand and say that buying a house is stress free. But we were lucky to have someone responsive and helpful throughout the process. Reviewed on: 10th February 2022

Ideal for my needs.

I was recommended the retirement mortgage by a good friend who had just taken one out herself with the Hanley. Jane Longmore handled her application. Jane also handled my application . ....She was pleasant ,polite and professional. Guided me through the whole process patiently. It was easy to get in touch with her when I needed , by both email and telephone. She always responded promptly. I am now in my new home I would not hesitate to recommend the Hanley to others looking for a mortgage. Reviewed on: 10th December 2021

Fantastic service

As a first time buyer, I was clueless when it came to the process of buying a house and getting a mortgage. Jane at The Hanley was there every step of the way to support me with my application to ensure I was able to secure my AIP and ultimately the mortgage that had allowed me to buy my first home. The customer service from Jane and the team is second to none. Thank you again for your support and dedication during what I am sure has been one of the busiest times, it has really been appreciated.

Self build mortgage

I searched the market directly myself and via specialist brokers and the best deal I could find for self build was with Hanley. Furthermore dealing with the team there to get the mortgage set up was thorough but simple, they were very helpful and proactive throughout. We just need to get the house built now!!
