Smart mortgage advice, made simple
From an initial conversation about your borrowing needs to the completion of your mortgage, our team at Alexander Southwell Mortgages provides guidance designed around your circumstances. We are an independent, FCA-authorised mortgage broker with offices in Romsey, supporting clients throughout Britain. Our research covers offerings from more than 100 lenders, enabling us to consider a broad selection of potential arrangements. We advise on first-home purchases, moving house, remortgaging and buy-to-let investments, as well as specialist situations involving self-employment, adverse credit, shared ownership, new builds and key worker schemes. Each recommendation follows an assessment of your financial position and objectives.We aim to remove unnecessary complexity by explaining interest rates, mortgage duration, monthly repayments and potential early repayment charges in accessible terms. Following your decision, we undertake the mortgage application and continue liaising with lenders and other involved professionals. Nationwide clients can arrange video or telephone consultations and receive assistance by email, while customers near Romsey or Southampton may choose to meet us directly. Our advice carries no broker charge in most circumstances because lenders pay us for completed business. For mortgages below 100,000, a 299 fee becomes payable after an offer; some complex cases involve charges up to 995. Applicable fees are always communicated upfront.

Services
First Time Buyer Mortgage Broker
Purchasing your first property can involve unfamiliar mortgage terms and financial considerations. We simplify the process by explaining your borrowing capacity, deposit needs and potential monthly costs. Through whole-of-market comparisons, we identify mortgage products suited to your circumstances. You receive personalised guidance from a dedicated adviser without paying any broker fees.
Home Movers
Choosing the appropriate mortgage for your next home involves more than comparing interest rates. We assess the total cost of retaining, transferring or replacing your existing mortgage, including potential repayment penalties. Our advisers help establish your borrowing budget, arrange an agreement in principle and prepare the mortgage application. We remain involved through to completion.
Self Employed Mortgages
For applicants with variable earnings or unconventional payment arrangements, we offer mortgage advice tailored to their employment circumstances. Our advisers examine business accounts, dividend income, tax returns and contract rates to establish suitable borrowing possibilities. We search across more than 1,000 mortgage products and prepare applications with appropriate financial evidence. Most mortgages we arrange involve no broker fee.
Life Insurance
Choosing appropriate life insurance requires careful consideration of your mortgage and family responsibilities. We guide you through decreasing term cover, level term policies and family income benefit, explaining how each option works. Our whole-of-market comparisons help establish suitable protection at a fair premium. We also provide guidance on policy terms, premiums and trusts without charging for advice.
Buildings & Contents Insurance
Our buildings and contents insurance service helps homeowners safeguard their properties and possessions against covered risks. We examine options from a broad selection of insurers, seeking competitive premiums and suitable protection. From establishing appropriate rebuilding costs to considering valuable belongings, we guide you through important decisions. We also provide complimentary advice when reviewing existing arrangements.
Critical Illness Cover
A serious medical diagnosis can create considerable financial uncertainty, particularly when regular commitments continue. We offer professional guidance on insurance providing a tax-free payment for specified critical illnesses. Our comparisons examine covered conditions, policy definitions and additional benefits. We also assess affordability and explain the differences between available protection arrangements before you make a decision.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andrew at Alexander Southwell Mortgages. He handled everything for me from start to finish with the utmost attention, service and actually got me a deal my own mortgage provider didn't offer. He was transparent, clear and supportive from day 1. I'll be using him every time I remortgage

It was a great experience working with Andrew Rattray. He was incredibly helpful and always prompt with his replies. He secured us a great mortgage deal multiple times without any issueseven when our first purchase fell through and the entire move took 1.5 years. Andrew was always there for us, and it cost us 0! There is no point paying other mortgage advisory companies when Alexander Southwell provides such a great service free of charge.
Thank you! - Marta & Mat

I cannot thank Alexander Southwell enough for the part they played in securing us the best mortgage product for our new home. Latoya specifically deserves a shout out! She was super friendly, efficient and helpful. Latoya only took the necessary information needed for our specific circumstances in order to progress our application. This made the experience feel personal rather than a tick box exercise which I had encountered with another mortgage broker I had spoken to previously. I have already recommended Alexander Southwell to a couple of friends who are looking to move in the near future and I would not hesitate to use them again!

His responsiveness was impressive emails and calls were returned quickly, and updates were provided proactively. He made what could have been a stressful process feel simple and manageable. Im extremely satisfied with the rate and terms we secured, and Im grateful for his professionalism and dedication. A top-tier advisor.

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.

I couldnt recommend this mortgage report provider more highly. They were significantly cheaper than other options I looked at and incredibly efficient. I was able to communicate with them easily via WhatsApp, which made the whole process so convenient - any questions I had were answered quickly and clearly. All I had to do was fill in a simple form, and I received my completed report within just a few hours. Exceptional service from start to finish!

We couldn't have asked for a better mortgage broker!! We're so glad they were recommended to us and we went ahead.
Andrew helped us with a total of 3 sales over the course of a year, 2 of which had unfortunately fallen through on the seller end. Andrew was always at the end of emails/phone to help us along each step and with any extra queries. We're so grateful for the expertise and great communication we recieved, thank you so much!!

Jamie and the team at AS Mortgages have been superb at helping sort out a new mortgage for a house move. From searching for the best product, to finding the best lender, they have been amazing.
This isnt the fist time we have used the services at AS mortgages. Previously have helped us with two other mortgages on previous properties and securing a new fixed rate. Every time the service is quick, easy and painless. We have recommended AS Mortgages to family, friends and colleagues - everyone who has used them has had the same great experience as us. Cant recommend highly enough.

Jamie was absolutely wonderful and very helpful with all the information about mortgages. It was a very pleasant experience, he had us sorted in a week and everything went over smoothly. Cannot recommend Jamie at Alexander - Southwell mortgages enough.

Me and my girlfriend recently used Jamie as our mortgage advisor for the purchase of our first house and he was fantastic. As first time buyers we felt a bit out of our depth but Jamie was always on hand to answer any questions and help us anyway he could. This really helped us to understand the whole process and get to the point where we have now had an offer and our mortgage accepted.
I would recommend Alexander Southwell Mortgage Services to anyone, nothing but good things to say about them. Once again thank you Jamie, couldn't of done it without you!
