Is there a fee-free mortgage broker in Basingstoke?

Yes. Alexander Southwell Mortgage Services covers Basingstoke and North Hampshire. Our advice is completely fee-free for standard residential mortgages. We are paid a commission by the lender on completion, so you do not pay a broker fee.

How much deposit do I need to buy a home in Basingstoke?

Most lenders require a minimum 5% deposit. Basingstoke property prices are competitive for Hampshire, with many new-build developments making it popular with first-time buyers. A 5% deposit on a £250,000 home is £12,500. Saving 10 to 15% gives you access to more lenders and lower interest rates.

Can I get a mortgage in Basingstoke if I am self-employed?

Yes. Basingstoke has a strong business community and many of our clients there are self-employed or contractors. Most lenders want two years of accounts or SA302 documents, though some specialist lenders will consider one year. We search the whole of market to find the best solution for your situation.

What is an Agreement in Principle and do I need one when buying in Basingstoke?

An Agreement in Principle (AIP) is written confirmation from a lender of how much they are willing to lend, subject to full underwriting. Basingstoke estate agents will typically want to see one before accepting your offer. We can arrange yours quickly so you are in the best position when you find the right property.

Understanding Your Status

How to get a mortgage in Basingstoke

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.

Explore All Services

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Call or enquire online and one of our Basingstoke mortgage advisers will get back to you quickly to discuss your needs.

Step 2: Research & Recommendation

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.

Step 3: Decision in Principle

We'll secure a Decision in Principle (DIP) so you can make offers on Basingstoke properties with confidence.

Step 4: Full Application & Valuation

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.

Step 5: Offer to Completion

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.
