Brighton and Hove has an unusually varied housing stock, including converted period flats, seafront apartment blocks, terraces in Hanover and Kemptown, and family homes around Patcham and Hove. With flats, the lease term, service charge, ground rent, building construction and any major works can all influence lender acceptance or affordability. A share of freehold does not remove the need to check the underlying lease.
The city also has many freelancers, contractors and business owners whose income does not fit a standard monthly payslip. We review the applicant and property together, identify likely lender questions early and explain what can be supported by the available documents. Advice is delivered remotely, with case management through valuation, underwriting and offer.




We support clients across Brighton and Hove with residential purchases, remortgages and rental property finance. The advice reflects the details of your income and property rather than treating every local flat or house alike.
We help you understand the true monthly and upfront cost of a Brighton or Hove property, including leasehold charges where they apply, before you commit to an offer.
We coordinate borrowing with your sale and onward purchase, whether you are moving between a city flat and a family house or relocating into the area.
We review irregular or business income carefully and choose lenders whose underwriting approach matches the records you can provide.
We help landlords assess rental coverage, property eligibility and portfolio requirements, including specialist applications where the proposed letting arrangement is acceptable to a suitable lender.
MBNM provides independent, regulated mortgage advice and can compare suitable options from more than 90 lenders. We explain why a lender and product fit your circumstances, prepare the application and stay involved through underwriting, valuation and offer. You receive clear information without pressure to proceed.

As an independent broker, MBNM has access to mortgage options from over 90 lenders, giving clients access to deals they won’t find by walking into a single bank.
We regularly handle applications involving self-employed income, remortgaging, buy-to-let properties, and time-sensitive purchases, situations where bank-only advice often falls short.
From your first conversation through to mortgage offer, we handle paperwork, lender queries, and follow-ups, keeping things moving and keeping you informed.
MBNM is FCA regulated and focused on clear, jargon-free advice. No sales pressure, no hidden agendas, just guidance that makes sense for your goals.
We start with your goals, income, deposit, commitments and property details. We then check affordability and lender criteria, explain suitable options and confirm the costs. If you ask us to continue, we submit and manage the application, answer lender questions and keep you updated.
We start with a straightforward conversation to understand your situation, goals, and timeframe. This helps us assess affordability, lender criteria, and the most suitable mortgage options from the outset.
We compare mortgages across the whole market, reviewing rates, terms, and lender requirements to find an option that fits your circumstances, not just what’s easiest to place.
Once you’re happy, we manage the full application process. That includes paperwork, lender questions, and follow-ups, keeping things progressing without unnecessary delays.
When your mortgage offer is issued, we guide you through the final steps and coordinate with solicitors or agents as needed, right through to completion.
If you have a question, please do not hesitate to reach out!
Yes. We check the lease, construction and building information available because converted flats can be treated differently by different lenders.
Not automatically. The lender will still review the lease and the individual flat. A share of freehold can be relevant, but it does not replace a satisfactory lease.
Yes, subject to affordability and evidence. Lenders use different methods for freelance and self-employed income, so we review accounts, tax records and contracts before applying.
Potentially. These cases need a lender whose property and letting criteria fit the proposal. Planning, licensing and tax questions must also be checked separately.
No. Advice, document checks and updates are provided remotely by phone, video and WhatsApp.
Your first chat is free. If we can help, we explain any fee before you decide whether to proceed. There are no hidden fees, and we do not move forward until you have agreed them.
Tell us about the Brighton or Hove property and how your income is structured. We will identify the main lending issues, explain realistic options and give you space to decide what to do next.
