Finding a mortgage can be overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling property searches, solicitors and other buyers.
Romsey is a charming historic market town, known for its beautiful abbey, the River Test, and excellent links to Southampton and Salisbury. It's a popular choice for families and commuters alike, with a mix of period properties, modern developments, and a strong sense of community.

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

Romsey is one of Hampshire's most desirable market towns, consistently attracting buyers who want village-style living with easy access to Winchester and Salisbury. Property prices tend to be higher than neighbouring towns, reflecting strong demand and limited stock. Detached family homes and period cottages are particularly sought after.
Romsey is a small market town with a tightly held supply of period and village property, so well presented homes tend to sell quickly.
The average price paid was around £395,000, with the wider Romsey area averaging closer to £417,000 over the last year.
Demand comes from families moving out of Southampton, professionals commuting to the M3 and M27, and downsizers who want a walkable high street.
The A3057 and A27 link Romsey to Winchester and the coast, with the M3 and M27 close by and mainline rail a short drive away.
Getting a new mortgage is one of the biggest financial decisions most of us ever make. Our team of expert mortgage advisors is here to guide you through the whole process, from your initial consultation to the day you complete, with clear, jargon free advice at every step.
Because we do not charge fees for standard residential mortgage advice, you get the same whole of market expertise other brokers offer, without the cost. Everything we recommend is designed around your financial situation, your long term goals and your personal circumstances.
We compare mortgage products from high street banks, building societies and specialist lenders across the UK mortgage market. That depth of access means we can match your circumstances to the right mortgage deal rather than a limited panel.
Whether you need a simple purchase mortgage or something more complex, we search the options and explain every recommendation clearly so you can make an informed decision.
Once you are ready to proceed, we manage the whole mortgage application on your behalf. We submit your documents, liaise with the lender, chase solicitors where needed and keep you informed from start to finish.
Our aim is a smooth, stress free application process, with ongoing support that continues after completion, including a review before any fixed rate ends.
Self employed borrowers, contractors and limited company directors often face extra questions about income and accounts. We know which mortgage lenders take a flexible view and how to present your financial situation in the best light.
We will assess your unique circumstances, explain what different lenders need and focus on the products that suit the way you earn.
Buying your first property is exciting, but it can feel daunting too. We help first time buyers work out what they can afford to borrow, understand shared ownership and low deposit schemes, and turn the dream of a first home into reality.
From your first enquiry to getting the keys, we handle the hard work and explain every step, giving you the confidence to proceed.
When your current deal ends, switching to a different lender could save money every month. We compare your options, manage the switch and keep remortgaging simple.
If you are moving home or have bad credit on your file, we work with specialist lenders who look beyond the credit score, catering for circumstances other advisers might turn away.
Many other brokers charge fees of several hundred pounds for the same work. We are typically fee free, paid by the lender on completion, and our customers consistently describe an excellent service from a friendly, experienced team that goes the extra mile.
We are an independent company and we treat every mortgage as if it were our own. Absolutely no pressure, no jargon and no hidden costs, just expert advice you can trust.
Our office sits just outside the heart of Romsey, easily accessible whether you are popping in after a coffee at one of the town's independent shops and cafes or travelling in from the surrounding villages. Commuters across the south coast can book phone or video appointments in the evening or at the weekend, so getting expert mortgage advice fits around your working week.

Yes, and we are based right here in Romsey. Alexander Southwell Mortgage Services is located at NIX Business Centre in Romsey and provides completely fee-free mortgage advice to local residents and buyers. We are paid a commission by the lender when your mortgage completes, so there is no cost to you.
Most lenders require a minimum 5% deposit. Romsey is a popular Hampshire market town and property prices reflect this, so a 5% deposit is typically £12,000 to £15,000 or more. Putting down 10% or more will give you access to a wider range of lenders and better interest rates.
Yes. We help many self-employed buyers and remortgagors across Romsey and the Test Valley area. Most lenders need two years of accounts or SA302 tax calculations, though some specialist lenders will consider one year. As a whole-of-market broker we can find the right option for your situation.
An Agreement in Principle (AIP) confirms in writing how much a lender is willing to lend you. Romsey estate agents and sellers will typically want to see one before accepting your offer. Because we are based locally we can arrange your AIP quickly, often on the same day you get in touch.
