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.
Leeds is one of the UK's most dynamic property markets, with a thriving city centre, excellent universities, and strong employment across financial services, tech, and the public sector. Property values have been rising steadily, and demand from both buyers and renters remains high. Getting the right mortgage advice in Leeds can make a real difference, and that is exactly what we are here to provide.






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 take care of all the paperwork and liaise directly with lenders and solicitors on your behalf, so your Leeds mortgage application moves forward without unnecessary stress or delays.

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 right across Leeds, from Roundhay and Chapel Allerton to Horsforth and Pudsey. Our advisers are available by phone, video call or in person, making it easy to get expert mortgage advice that fits around your life.
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 Leeds, we are not tied to any bank or building society. We search thousands of mortgage products to find the one that best matches your needs and budget. We are FCA authorised, completely fee free, and rated 5 stars by our clients. From first time buyers to experienced landlords and everyone in between, we are here to make your Leeds mortgage as straightforward as possible.

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 simple questions about your income, deposit, and what you are looking to achieve in Leeds, so we can make sure we are looking in the right direction from the very beginning.
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 gives you a lender's indication of what they would lend, which puts you in a much stronger position when making offers on Leeds 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.
