From our very first conversation, he was incredibly friendly and immediately put me at ease, making what initially felt like a daunting process feel straightforward and manageable. John’s communication was outstanding throughout. No question was ever too big or too small, and he always took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly. Thanks to his support, I was able to navigate the entire mortgage process with complete confidence. I never once felt stressed or under pressure, which made such a difference as a first-time buyer. His knowledge and expertise are second to none, and he was able to secure me a fantastic mortgage deal. I genuinely felt that he had my best interests at heart every step of the way. I can’t recommend John highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly dedicated to helping their clients, he’s the person to go to. Thank you, John, for making such an important milestone such a positive experience!Posted on Google james foleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re do I start I’m so glad I got recommended to John. He made getting a mortgage feel so easy and effortless. Every question I had to ask John he was so quick to get back to you. He made you feel like he couldn’t do enough. I can not thank him for making it feel personal like he knew us and wanted the best outcome. He also is one of the nicest person I have ever met. If I was going to recommend anyone it would 100% be John.Posted on Google VictoriaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so grateful to have found John! He is an incredible broker and a genuinely lovely person who goes above and beyond. He makes no question seem like a silly question and has made a stressful process as simple as it can be. I would highly recommend John to everyone and can't thank him enough for his help :)Posted on Google abanoub alfonseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I arrived in the UK, I had only been here for 3 months. I was on a spouse visa, had very little UK employment history, and other mortgage advisers told us that getting a mortgage would be extremely difficult or even impossible. From the first conversation, John gave us confidence. He explained exactly what we needed to do and told us that the most important thing was getting my first few payslips and building my employment record. He had a clear plan from the start. What I liked most was how honest and straightforward he was. He always answered our questions, kept us updated, and made the whole process easy to understand. Nothing ever felt too much trouble. John didn't just help us get a mortgage. He advised us on properties, helped us understand what was a good purchase, guided us on what offer to make, and even helped us find solicitors. It felt like he genuinely cared about helping us buy the right home, not just getting the mortgage approved. In less than 4 months, John achieved what two other mortgage advisers told us was impossible. We now have a mortgage offer and are buying our first home together. The whole experience was smooth, professional and surprisingly stress-free. John was always there when we needed advice and support. If you are a first-time buyer, new to the UK, or have a complicated situation, I highly recommend speaking to John before anyone else. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve something we never thought would be possible, and we will always be grateful.Posted on Google valeria raflaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding Mortgage Broker – Truly Exceptional Service My husband and I cannot recommend John Everest at Everest Mortgage Services highly enough. As first-time buyers, we were told by two other mortgage advisers that getting a mortgage would be virtually impossible due to our circumstances. My husband, Aba, had only been in the UK for five months on a spouse visa, had a very limited UK credit history, and was still building his employment record. We were repeatedly told that lenders would not consider our application. From our very first conversation, John was different. Rather than focusing on the obstacles, he focused on finding solutions. He took the time to understand our situation, explain every stage of the process, and gave us honest, realistic advice from day one. What seemed impossible suddenly felt achievable. In less than four months, John successfully secured our mortgage offer. Throughout the entire journey, he was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly reassuring. Every question was answered promptly, every concern was dealt with calmly, and we always felt that he genuinely cared about helping us achieve our goal. What impressed us most was that John didn't just act as a mortgage broker. He became a trusted adviser and mentor throughout the whole process. He guided us on property choices, helped us understand market values, advised on offer strategies, and ensured we didn't make costly mistakes as first-time buyers. His experience and insight were invaluable. Buying a home is often described as one of the most stressful experiences in life, but John made it the complete opposite. It was the most smooth, stress-free, and well-managed process we could have hoped for. We always felt supported, informed, and confident in the decisions we were making. Thanks to John's hard work, dedication, and expertise, my husband and I are now able to purchase our first home together. We genuinely believe this would not have happened without him. If you are a first-time buyer, have a complex case, are a foreign national, or have been told "no" elsewhere, speak to John before giving up. His knowledge, persistence, and commitment to his clients are second to none. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve a dream we thought was out of reach, and we will always be grateful. 🏡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ValeriaPosted on Google Laura BailhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Navigate the Hove mortgage market with ease

Why Hove continues to attract homeowners and investors
Though close to Brighton, Hove offers something slightly different. With its quieter residential streets, strong transport links – including easy access to Brighton and onward to London – and an appealing mix of traditional homes and modern apartments, there’s something for everyone.
As of November 2025, the average asking price for a house in Hove was around £580,000 and the majority of properties sold in the last year were flats. This makes Hove a premium housing market, but one that still offers value compared to many areas, such as those closer to London.
We search 1000's of mortgage deals across a large number of lenders, including...

Common Questions About Mortgage Brokers in Hove
Is it cheaper to use a mortgage broker?
It can be, yes. A broker searches thousands of deals across the whole market, including rates not available directly to the public. Even after any broker fee, clients typically save more over the mortgage term than they would have found going direct. At Everest Mortgages, we’re transparent about our fees upfront, so you always know exactly what you’re paying for.
Is it best to go with a mortgage broker?
For most people, yes — particularly if your situation isn’t straightforward. If you’re self-employed, have a complex income, a less-than-perfect credit history, or you’re simply short on time, a broker can navigate the market far more efficiently than going lender by lender yourself. As a whole-of-market broker, we’re not tied to any single lender, so our advice is always in your best interest.
What is the average fee for a mortgage advisor?
Broker fees in the UK typically range from £300 to £600, though some charge a percentage of the loan value. At Everest Mortgages, we’re upfront about our fees from the first conversation — there are no hidden charges, and your initial consultation is completely free.
Is it worth paying for a mortgage advisor?
In most cases, yes. Beyond finding a better rate, a good advisor saves you hours of research, handles the paperwork, liaises with lenders on your behalf, and helps avoid costly mistakes. On a mortgage of £300,000, even a 0.1% better rate saves you thousands over a five-year fix.
How much is a meeting with a mortgage advisor?
Your initial consultation with Everest Mortgages is free and comes with no obligation. We’ll review your situation, answer your questions, and give you a clear picture of your options before you commit to anything.
