Smart mortgage advice, made simple
Our approach at Alexander Southwell Mortgages combines independent lender research with individual attention throughout the mortgage process. We recognise that purchasing property, changing homes or restructuring existing borrowing involves decisions that extend beyond comparing headline interest rates. Working from Romsey, Hampshire, we advise customers throughout the UK and assess products from over 100 mortgage lenders. Our expertise encompasses first-time buyer mortgages, home mover applications, remortgages and buy-to-let finance. We additionally provide guidance for self-employed borrowers, including contractors and limited company directors, and for applicants considering new-build homes, shared ownership or key worker schemes.

Every enquiry begins with an assessment of your financial position, borrowing expectations and plans for the future. Our advisers explain the relevant lending criteria, available rates, mortgage terms and anticipated monthly repayments before discussing suitable recommendations. We subsequently coordinate the application, communicate with the lender and liaise with solicitors where required. Customers can consult us remotely from anywhere in the country, while appointments in person are available around Romsey and Southampton. Most clients pay no fee for our advice, as the selected lender remunerates us. Exceptions include loans below 100,000, subject to 299 payable after an offer, and certain specialist applications, for which fees can reach 995. These costs are disclosed before proceeding.

First Time Buyer Mortgage Broker First Time Buyer Mortgage Broker
Understanding mortgage affordability is essential when purchasing your first home. We examine your personal circumstances to determine potential borrowing limits and expected monthly repayments. Rather than approaching a single lender, we compare available mortgages throughout the market. Our dedicated advisers offer individual assistance without charging you, making professional mortgage guidance accessible.
Home Movers Home Movers
Moving home requires careful consideration of your existing mortgage and future borrowing needs. We examine whether transferring your current deal, negotiating another product with your lender or arranging a completely new mortgage offers better value. Our service includes affordability assessments, comparisons of fees and early repayment charges, and ongoing assistance with the property transaction.
Self Employed Mortgages Self Employed Mortgages
Our approach to self-employed mortgages begins with a detailed understanding of your income and financial records. We establish how lenders may assess your earnings, whether derived from net profits, dividends, daily contract rates or CIS payments. After identifying appropriate mortgage products, we organise your supporting documents and oversee the application, offering guidance from initial assessment to completion.

Brilliant service from start to finish. Andrew was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to make sure I fully understood my options before helping me decide which mortgage was best suited to my needs.
The whole process was incredibly efficient, and my mortgage offer came through within just 24 hours of applying.
Would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive mortgage adviser.

I recently used Alexander Southwell Mortgages to arrange a mortgage for my flat, and the service was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Cheryl, my broker, was incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and supportive throughout the whole process. She made everything so straightforward and stress-free - I had a mortgage offer accepted within around a week, which exceeded my expectations. Communication was always clear and timely, and I felt fully informed and in good hands the entire time. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Cheryl and the team at Alexander Southwell to anyone looking for a reliable, professional mortgage broker.

We were introduced to Jamie by a close friend, and we couldnt be more grateful. He is truly the best and most professional broker weve worked with. Jamie was extremely patient and guided us through every step of the application process with clarity and care. He took the time to listen to our thoughts and address all our questions in detail.

His team, especially Tylor, was also outstandingalways responding promptly, often within the same day. We deeply appreciate all the support and are very thankful for helping us achieve a successful outcome.

Highly recommend using Alexander Southwell Mortgage Services for a mortgage. It was excellent to have Andrew help us with finding the best rate mortgage to suit our needs as first time home buyers. We were walked through the process and all the work was on there end. Will use again when it is time to get a new mortgage. Thank you!!

I originally contacted AS mortgage services to understand my affordability. Cheryl was the person who contacted me and was very professional and helpful. She obtained an AIP for me which gave me confidence to start viewing houses and make an offer quicker than I had planned. Cheryl later found and secured a better mortgage offer for me in no time, all while being patient with my many questions (and worries) as a first time buyer. I couldnt thank her enough and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a mortgage broker.

So this was myself and my partners first time buying and honestly we were totally clueless on the process! A mutual friend/client of Jamie & Latoya recommended them to us and Im so incredibly glad he did.

From the start, Jamie quickly put us in touch with Latoya and we got things underway instantly. Throughout the whole process, communication was utterly seamless and there was no such thing as a silly question (trust me, I asked a few!). Latoya was transparent about every step, advising us down the best possible avenue - ensuring we got the best outcome for us. Keeping us up to date about each part of the application process, there was absolutely no need to chase - as soon as she had anything for us - we were straight in the loop.

Honestly, she made what was quite a daunting idea to us - so reassuring and easy.

Thank you so much to Latoya and Jamie for your incredible service and support! Well be singing your praises and sending anybody we can, your way

All the best to you both,

Joe & Naomi

We are quite happy that we followed our mutual friend's recommendation and met Jamie. Many mortgage advisors failed to secure me a mortgage for the property I was attempting to purchase, but Jamie was able to assist me in obtaining an offer within a week.
All of our inquiries were promptly and reassuringly addressed. Once again, BIG thanks to Jamie, I will be referring Alexander Southwell Mortgage Services to everyone who needs a mortgage.
