Being prepared with the right paperwork
Documents You’ll Need
Finding a mortgage can be overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling property searches, solicitors and other buyers.
Birmingham's property market is one of the most exciting in the UK. With a young and growing population, major regeneration projects like HSBC's relocation to Centenary Square, and strong demand from both owner-occupiers and investors, getting the right mortgage advice in Birmingham has never been more important. We search across the whole market to find you the best possible deal.






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.
Our team handles all the paperwork and liaises directly with lenders and solicitors on your behalf, making your Birmingham mortgage journey as smooth as possible from start to finish.

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.
We work with clients across Birmingham, from Harborne and Moseley to Solihull and beyond. Our advisers are available by phone, video call or in person, so getting expert mortgage advice around your schedule is simple.
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.
As a whole-of-market mortgage broker in Birmingham, we are not tied to any single lender. That means we search thousands of mortgage products from across the market to find the one that suits your circumstances. We are FCA authorised, completely fee free, and rated 5 stars by our clients. Whether you are a first time buyer taking your first step onto the ladder, a landlord expanding your portfolio, or looking to save money on your current deal, we are here to help.

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.
Get in touch and tell us about your situation. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your income, deposit, and what you are hoping to buy or do in Birmingham, so we can point you in the right direction from the start.
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.
Once we have found the right deal, we will obtain a Decision in Principle (DIP) for you. This is a lender's confirmation of what they would be prepared to lend, which strengthens your position when making offers on Birmingham properties.
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.
