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

Excellent service

My re-mortgage was handled professionally and efficiently throughout by the Hanley. The type of mortgage suited my needs and the rate was competitive. Reviewed on: 19th January 2026

The Human Touch

5
On the rare occasions that I’ve needed to contact them about my mortgage I cannot even bring to tell you how nice it is to just speak to a normal person without umpteen button presses. Even better, the person can almost always deal with the query themselves, and only occasionally do they need to transfer directly to a specific department. Reviewed on: 19th January 2026

So glad I chose The Hanley Economic

5
The Hanley makes the whole mortgage process easy. I honestly can’t fault the mortgage process with Hanley Economic. From start to finish it was clear, smooth, and so well handled. Everything was explained in a way that actually made sense, communication was spot on, and I never felt rushed or left wondering what was happening next. The whole process felt far less stressful than I expected, and that’s entirely down to how professional and supportive they were. I’d 100% recommend them to anyone going through a mortgage application. Reviewed on: 19th January 2026
