Unmortgageable Property Finance in Brighton and Hove

Being told you are unmortgageable in Brighton and Hove can feel final, but it usually just means one lender said no. The area is home to Regency conversions and seafront flats, where short leases, flying freeholds and above-shop flats regularly appear, and the same case a high-street bank declines can be perfectly workable for a specialist lender. This page explains what that means and where to look next.

Whether you are in Brighton and Hove itself or nearby in Worthing, Eastbourne and Lewes, the same three steps apply: find the cause, match it to a lender who works with it, and get advice from someone authorised to give it. Our guides explain each situation and the free check helps you see your likely options.
