Your Local Shirley Mortgage Broker

Looking for a mortgage broker in Shirley, Southampton? Mortgage321 has been helping homebuyers, homeowners and property investors across Southampton and Hampshire secure the right mortgage since 2009. As a whole-of-market broker, we are not tied to any single lender — meaning we research a comprehensive range of UK lenders to find the deal that fits your circumstances.

Shirley (SO15) is the main suburb on the western side of the city, running out from the centre along its long and busy high street — a full parade of national and independent shops. Behind it, the housing is solid and settled: inter-war semis, terraces and family streets around parks and schools.

The area suits families who want practical, well-served streets with the city centre minutes away, and first-time buyers who find semis and terraces at realistic prices. The M27 and M3 are both close by.

The housing stock is straightforward for lending, which keeps the process quick and simple. We help first-time buyers combine deposits, family gifts and low-deposit schemes, and for families upgrading we help sequence the chain so you are not left between homes and rates.
