I cannot recommend Andrew Rattray highly enough. From start to finish, he was absolutely excellent and made the entire mortgage process incredibly simple and stress-free.

No matter when I had a question, Andrew was always on hand to speak with me and clarify any details, breaking down complex financial jargon into clear, easy-to-understand terms. He regularly went the extra mile to ensure everything stayed on track and kept moving forward smoothly, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout.

If you are looking for a mortgage broker who is professional, proactive, and genuinely cares about his clients, look no further than Andrew.

Thank you for all your hard work

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 recently worked with Jamie Alexander as my mortgage advisor and had a great experience. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very informative throughout the entire process.

Jamie was always quick to respond to any questions I had, which made everything feel much less stressful. I also really appreciated that he was available on WhatsApp, making communication very convenient and easy.

His advice was excellent and ultimately helped me secure a much better rate for my remortgage. Id highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive mortgage advisor.

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.

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 recently engaged with Alexander Southwell Mortgages for a remortgage I had to do after 5 years fixed. I have always found the process of remortgaging very stressful, and needlessly complicated. I reached out to Jamie whose incredible knowledge of the market, and rates made me feel incredibly relaxed. After a brief consultation, he simplified the whole process for me, presented a selection of options that were perfect for my needs and financial situation, took most of the leg work away from me, as well as providing continued advice and support as I worked through the final stages with the conveyancers. I have used multiple mortgage brokers in my property journey and Jamie has hands down been the most effective. I will definitely be coming back to Alexander Southwell when my renewal is due.

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!

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.

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!
