Review of the Hanley Economic Building Society, Mortgages:

This review is purely dedicated to Lana..

The Hanley and everything they have done for me and my partners first house has been incredible. I felt like I had a close connection with everyone involved all the way to underwriting.. however, this was down to the work of Lana Beech. There’s no over-exaggeration here when I say Lana literally has made our house purchase work. From her years of experience, her advice allowed us to communicate with solicitors to change their demands to make our mortgage work. Despite all this, she’s genuinely one of the most professional but lovely people I have ever spoken to. We spoke nearly every day for 2/3 weeks - and you won’t ever have to chase ANYTHING if you go with the Hanley/Lana. They are on the ball from 9am onwards. I had Lana calling me later on the day some days as she knew I had a late night the night before! Little considerations make the whole experience 100x better. Buying your first house is daunting. No matter what research you do, you can never know everything you need to know. In this day and age, there are too many formalities, and too much jargon. Sometimes, you need someone to talk to you as an adult and just explain everything you need to know. This is one of the best things Lana did for us. Incredible work. Have no doubts about the Hanley. They will be one of the most pleasant companies you have spoken to. Please show this review to Lana but also the hierarchy above Lana. It’s important to me that powers-that-be are aware of the work she has done, and the influence she made. I just wish she was a solicitor too!!! Oh, worth mentioning that the Hanleys products are brilliant too! It’s easy to forget this as you are sold straight away with the products that come back on offer! Reviewed on: 26th July 2019

Professional and outstanding service

The service from the initial contact through to the mortgage completion was outstanding. Jane, the mortgage advisor was very professional, listened to us and showed us the possible mortgage options. There was no pressure and it was clear that Jane wanted us to make a decision that was right for us. Reviewed on: 8th April 2025

At last! A provider that understands my needs.

Over the past 2 years I have spend countless hours exploring various options for Equity Release. While I have adequate funds invested in my pension I could show little income to providers because I have been financially sensible saving into and then living off my ISA investments. The Hanley was the only provider I could find that was savvy enough to realise that people with solid investments should be able to use those investments as evidence of income potential and therefore allow a lifetime interest only mortgage product to be offered Reviewed on: 27th March 2025

Very helpful.

Jane was great - very helpful. I've heard a lot of horror stories on self build mortgage companies but Jane couldn't have been more helpful. I'm sure I was a nightmare repeatedly asking the same questions but clarification was always provided. Reviewed on: 26th March 2025
