Our Southampton Headquarters
A mortgage broker (also called a mortgage adviser) is an independent intermediary who compares mortgage products from a panel of lenders on your behalf, assesses your borrowing eligibility, and manages your application through to completion rather than lending funds directly. Headquartered at Director General's House, 15 Rockstone Place, Anderson Reed Financial Services provides personalised mortgage and protection advice across Southampton and the wider Hampshire area.
Located in the distinctive Rockstone Place conservation area just off The Avenue and London Road, our office is easily accessible from Southampton Central railway station, Bedford Place, and the city centre. Whether you prefer to sit down face-to-face in our office, speak over the telephone, or connect via video call from home or work, we tailor our appointments around your schedule. We are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays, ensuring you have access to expert guidance when you need it most.
As independent mortgage brokers in Southampton with access to an extensive panel of lenders across the UK, our CeMAP-qualified mortgage advisers (often searched as mortgage advisors) are not tied to any high-street bank, building society, or estate agency chain. Whether you are comparing Southampton mortgage brokers for a first purchase, a fixed-rate remortgage, or specialist finance, we provide objective advice designed around your financial position, property goals, and long-term affordability.

Tailored to Local Property
The Southampton and wider Hampshire property market has unique characteristics, from city-centre waterfront flats to suburban family homes and high-yielding student HMOs. Here is how we support local borrowers across different property journeys.
Stepping onto the Southampton property ladder requires navigating realistic deposit expectations across popular first-buyer neighbourhoods like Shirley, Bitterne, Freemantle, Woolston, and Portswood.
Southampton has thousands of purpose-built and converted flats across Ocean Village, Oxford Street, Bedford Place, and the city waterfront. Securing a mortgage on leasehold apartments involves strict criteria.
Moving from Southampton out to Romsey, Winchester, Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, or into the New Forest often involves coordinating a property sale, mortgage porting, and additional borrowing.
With the University of Southampton (Russell Group), Solent University, and Southampton General Hospital driving tenant demand, the city has a vibrant private rented sector. Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in areas like Portswood, Highfield, and Polygon represent popular investment strategies.
A past credit blip, self-employed trading history, or complex income should not stop you from having an honest conversation about property finance. Many high-street lenders automatically decline cases that specialist lenders evaluate manually.

Home Insurance & Mortgage Protection in Southampton
Most mortgage lenders require appropriate buildings insurance to be in place from exchange of contracts on a freehold house, while leaseholders in Ocean Village, Bedford Place, or city-centre apartments typically need contents cover alongside the freeholder's block buildings policy. Our Southampton advisers help you review buildings and contents home insurance as well as life insurance, critical illness cover, and income protection tailored to your household budget.
