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)

Flawless from start to finish!

5
We were extremely lucky to work with Jane from The Hanley on the purchase of our first property together, from the start we knew that we had gone to the right place and felt extremely valued. The time and effort put into our application ensured that everything went smoothly and the purchase of our house was processed quicker than we anticipated - a huge contrast to the horror stories we had heard from friends and family who had used larger lenders!! Thank you Jane, we will definitely be returning to you and The Hanley for any future purchases! Reviewed on: 4th October 2020

Exceptional Customer Service

5
As first time buyers we were really nervous about buying a house and had been burnt by a mortgage advisor who provided us with a mortgage-in-principal which was wrong so we were unable to get a mortgage on the house we put on offer on through her. However, after being recommended The Hanley through both family and friends, we made the phone call and got a prompt appointment. Jane Longmore was able to help us straight away with a mortgage that met our needs. Even through these truely unprecidented times, she was able to offer us the support we required and we have been living in our house for over 2 months now. We could not thank her enough! She was clear, thorough and not at all pushy. She was also always extremely responsive to all of our queries. Thanks so much Jane! Reviewed on: 28th September 2020

Very positive experience

5
As first time buyers we were anxious however Jane Longmore was brilliant, very friendly and helpful. We didn’t end up getting a mortgage with Hanley in the end but that was due to our circumstances and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Hanley again in the future. Reviewed on: 24th September 2020

Quick, efficient and a pleasure to deal with

My partner and I have just managed to buy our first home together and The Hanley helped make this possible in these difficult times. Lana B, Hannah E and the rest of the team provided excellent service from start to finish; we could not fault a thing. We will absolutely be staying in touch with them for our future mortgage needs and I would absolutely recommend to friends and family members. A huge thank you to The Hanley team!

What a joy to deal with the Hanley Building Society - lovely people who know their job and steer you through the whole mortgage process with total professionalism. Our son will be needing a mortgage soon and Hanley will be our first port of call. Reviewed on: 22nd September 2020

Fantastic Service

As first time buyers me & my husband were very nervous about buying a house. We spoke to Jane Longmore who was brilliant. She made sure we were at ease & went through every detail with us. She was more than happy to answer any questions & got back to any emails promptly. The Hanley have been amazing & I could not recommend them enough. A massive thank you to Jane for being so patient with us & being so helpful. Reviewed on: 14th September 2020

Knowledgeable, supportive and friendly

As first time buyers we were more than impressed at the service provided by Hanley Economic Building Society. We spoke with Jane, one of the mortgage advisors - she was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and talked us through lots of different options, making sure we understood them all fully. She was open and honest about what would work best for us. She was very friendly and made the whole process very relaxing. I would highly recommend Hanley Economic for first time buyers if you want a smooth process. Reviewed on: 8th September 2020

Beyond Compare

5
I have gone through the mortgage process twice before with the larger high street banks, so I cannot stress enough how exceptional The Hanley are. Their customer service is impeccable and communication is consistent throughout the process. They truly make you feel like a valued customer and are very patient and accommodating should things go wrong with your purchase. Our mortgage advisor Lana was professional and supportive and I couldn’t be more grateful and lucky to have chosen this lender! Can’t recommend enough. Reviewed on: 4th August 2020

RIO mortgage

From the minute we applied we found your representative Anna Whitehead extremely helpful, pleasant, efficient, and able to answer any queries which inspired confidence in Hanley. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Clear and friendly advice at The Hanley

5
We held an arranged mortgage interview with adviser Jane Longmore which was very thorough and answered all our questions. She made us very much at ease and was not in any way pushy. Because we had very particular requirements we eventually chose another lender but The Hanley couldn't have done more to help us. And they are very competitive on their rates!
