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 Hampshire you are buying in. This gives us everything we need to start looking at your options across the whole market.
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 (DIP) the same day or within 24 hours. This is essential when making offers on properties in popular Hampshire locations, where good homes move quickly and competition can be fierce.
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.

Yes. Alexander Southwell Mortgage Services is based in Romsey and covers the whole of Hampshire — from Southampton and Portsmouth to Winchester, Basingstoke, Andover and everywhere in between. Our advice is 100% fee-free for standard residential mortgages.
Most lenders require a minimum 5% deposit. House prices across Hampshire vary considerably — from more affordable areas like Andover to premium locations like Winchester. A 5% deposit on a £250,000 property is £12,500. A larger deposit of 10% or more typically unlocks better rates and more lenders.
Yes. We regularly help self-employed buyers and business owners across Hampshire secure mortgages. Most lenders require two years of accounts or SA302 tax calculations, although some specialist lenders will consider one year. As a whole-of-market broker we can find the right lender for your circumstances.
An Agreement in Principle (AIP) is a written indication from a lender of how much they would be willing to lend you. Hampshire estate agents will typically want to see one before accepting your offer. We can arrange yours quickly — often on the same day — so you are ready to put in an offer with confidence.
