Documents You’ll Need
Finding a mortgage can be overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling property searches, solicitors and other buyers.
A mortgage broker in Brighton gives you access to lenders right across the market, so you can get a great deal without the stress of approaching banks individually. Brighton's vibrant property market attracts buyers from all walks of life, so having an experienced adviser really does help.






Alexander Southwell Mortgage Services Ltd offer a comprehensive range of mortgage products from across the market. We offer both first and second charge mortgages, but not deals that you can only obtain by going direct to a lender.
We also take care of all the administration for mortgages and life cover applications, as well as liaising with Brighton estate agents, mortgage lenders and solicitors to make the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Low-Cost Specialist Advice: Fee-free options available for clean credit and £100k+ loans.
Typically fee-free for standard residential mortgages, our commission is paid by the lender on completion. Fees may apply for complex or specialist cases, always disclosed upfront in writing.
Based in Romsey, Hampshire, with full remote coverage across Brighton, Hove and the wider East Sussex area via phone and video appointments.
First time buyers, home movers, remortgages, buy to let (including portfolio landlords).
Speak to a qualified adviser today – we offer flexible appointments including evenings and weekends.
Our Brighton mortgage advisers have over 20 years of experience in residential and buy to let lending. We offer whole-of-market access to high-street banks, building societies and specialist lenders, supporting first time buyers, home movers, remortgages, buy to let investors and clients with complex incomes across Kemptown, Hove, Preston Park, Fiveways, Portslade and beyond. We also advise on life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection to protect your Brighton property purchase.

From your initial consultation to when your mortgage completes we manage the whole process for you. We coordinate with estate agents and solicitors where necessary to keep everyone moving towards your completion date.
A free, no obligation phone or video call to discuss your goals, deposit, income, credit history and the area of Brighton or Hove you are looking to buy in. This gives us everything we need to start searching for the right mortgage for you.
Your adviser will compare mortgage products across suitable lenders and prepare a tailored recommendation. You’ll receive an Illustration (ESIS) showing the interest rate, fees and total cost over the mortgage term so you can make an informed decision.
We can often get a Decision in Principle the same day or within 24 hours. This is especially useful in Brighton where sought-after properties in areas like Kemptown, Seven Dials and Hove can attract multiple offers very quickly.
We’ll handle the paperwork, submit your documents to the lender, liaise on your behalf and arrange the valuation or survey. You won’t need to chase – we do that for you.
We’ll track your case through underwriting, chase solicitors and other parties if needed and keep you updated through to exchange and completion. Once you’ve got your keys we’ll diarise a review before any fixed rate ends so you’re never left on an expensive standard variable rate.

Brighton is one of the UK's most popular coastal cities, attracting a real mix of buyers from young professionals and families to retirees and investors. Understanding the local market helps us give you the best possible mortgage advice.
The Brighton and Hove area offers everything from Victorian terraces and Regency seafront apartments to modern new build developments, giving buyers a wide range of choices at various price points.
Average house prices in Brighton sit broadly between £350,000 and £450,000, though this varies significantly between central streets, seafront properties and the more affordable outskirts of the city.
Demand is driven by London commuters on the fast Victoria and London Bridge services, young professionals attracted by Brighton's culture and tech scene, and retirees seeking a vibrant coastal lifestyle.
The fast train from Brighton to London Victoria takes around 52 minutes, making it one of the most popular commuter towns in the south east and keeping property demand consistently strong.
