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:

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

Superb support throughout the application process.

I scoured the market for an equity release product that suited my needs for over a year and eventually found the Hanley. They recognise that people may use savings to fund their living expenses instead of drawing income - and are therefore willing to look at assets (e.g. pension funds) when reviewing affordability. The advisor on my case, Jane Longmore, was absolutely fantastic - friendly, helpful and efficient. She supervised and guided throughout the whole process until a successful conclusion.

Fantastic mortgage support

I contacted Hanley Economic directly for some mortgage advice after I had some issues going through a broker. I dealt with Lana Beech who heard my situation and was straight on the case to sort my mortgage. It was quick, efficient and pain free! A huge thank you to Lana for her support and fantastic communication. Reviewed on: 7th May 2025
