Mortgage brokerin West Sussex

A first time buyer at £420,000 pays 0% on the first £300,000 and 5% on £120,000 — a total of £6,000. Crawley, Horsham, and Haywards Heath all have properties in this price range, and the FTB SDLT relief applies in full. Buyers relocating from south London often find they can access a three-bedroom family house in West Sussex for the same total cost as a one-bedroom flat in Zone 3.

Thameslink from Haywards Heath reaches London Bridge in approximately 44 minutes and City Thameslink in 46 minutes. Southern from Horsham reaches Victoria in around 57 minutes. Gatwick Airport is also just 15–20 minutes from both towns, making West Sussex a natural choice for frequent business travellers. The combination of reasonable commute times and much more affordable property than Surrey is West Sussex's key selling point.

Crawley has sustained rental demand from Gatwick Airport workers, aviation industry staff, and logistics businesses. Properties in Crawley are among the most affordable in the county, and gross buy to let yields of 5–6% are achievable. Lenders generally have no concerns about properties in the Gatwick vicinity, though properties directly under the flight path may have a lower market value — something we account for in our mortgage research.
