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:

Highly Recommend

Can’t recommend my mortgage adviser Lana Beech highly enough! Throughout the process she was knowledgeable, professional, personable and efficient. I found the Hanley RIO product attractive as there are no penalty charges for early repayment. Reviewed on: 2nd October 2024

First-time homeowners - thanks to The Hanley!

Thank you to the team at The Hanley (especially our adviser, Jane) for ensuring that the process of obtaining the mortgage for our first home was smooth, simple and straightforward. Jane was very patient throughout, and it was evident she worked hard for us. Thank you so much Jane! We are very happy homeowners. Reviewed on: 1st April 2019

Re-mortgage to Hanley Economical

Absolutely faultless. They were always more than happy to help with queries from the very initial phone call right the way through to completion (and I had a lot of queries/questions/problems but I always felt they were more than happy to help and answer.) I even received a lovely "welcome" phone call on the morning of completion. I had the pleasure of dealing with Jane and she was amazing. Thank you!! :-) Reviewed on: 22nd March 2019

Very helpful and professional

I wish to thank Hanley Economic for their wonderful support with remortgaging. They went beyond their call of duty to help me out with the product. Thank you Jane. Regards Naveen Reviewed on: 20th March 2019

Self-Build Mortgage Application

Just had to say a few words of thanks to the staff at 'The Hanley' for their patience, effort, understanding and good humour throughout my mortgage application. Not only was the mortgage product and associated insurance cover much better than anything else on the market; but the help, guidance and information provided was invaluable. There were a few occasions when it looked as though I would not be able to complete the application process but the staff never gave up and we are now building our house. I must give particular thanks to Jane Longmore who never gave up trying and ultimately succeeding in processing my application- were are truly grateful for all you have done. Thanks. If ever I have need of a mortgage again my first call will be to the Hanley. Reviewed on: 14th March 2019

Superb

Helpful staff and amazing service. Jane was brilliant and always helpful. As first time buyers she helped us understand everything and always listens to our queries. We would highly recommend. Reviewed on: 26th December 2018

Slower than a snail

Over two months and not got an offer yet. They are apparently understaffed!!! The delay is not down to any fault my end - I have an excellent credit check score and a good job- but is just them asking for ridiculous info from years back. And I’m only remortgaging with them. I pity anyone looking for a mortgage to buy a property. They are way over the time scale they quoted for the offer. They might have some of the best deals but what good is that if they don’t make offers. Reviewed on: 6th December 2018

Excellent service throughout as a first time buyer.

I had a bit of a unique situation regarding my mortgage being accepted, after dealing with various high street banks I spoke to The Hanley on recommendation. From there on wards they took on board everything and found a solution that helped us going forward. I had excellent and professional service from start to finish, I received regular calls to see how everything was moving along which show they care about their clients they have and want you to help wherever needed. I will happily recommend anyone to use The Hanley going forward. I'd just like to thank everyone at The Hanley and especially Jane Longmore for the amazing service I received over my process.

Fantastic Service from start to finish

We received an absolutely fantastic and professional service from the Hanley - In particular our mortgage advisor Lana. After a bad experience with a high street bank we approached the Hanley and can not fault the experience in any way. We were kept up to date, emails answered quickly and efficiently. Absolutely everything was easy and professional. We were constantly kept up to date, explanations given in understandable terms - Lana is an absolute star! Reviewed on: 1st November 2018
