    Mortgages - Residential Commercial/Private & Investment

    One of our objectives at David & Co is to make the process of searching and applying for a mortgage simpler.

    For many of us applying for a mortgage can be a daunting and frustrating experience; particularly in the current economic climate where mortgages are ever harder to obtain and are now considered to be the most difficult part of the house buying process!

    Therefore receiving advice to help you choose the right mortgage is probably one of the most important decisions you will need to make when buying a new property.

    A mortgage is often one of the largest financial commitments that you will undertake, so choosing the right one requires careful consideration.

    We work in partnership with Iain Carter from My Mortgage Company, they are our 'in house' independent mortgage advisers who will search the whole market and use software which provides access to lenders across the UK, resulting in impartial advice and delivery of competitive rates.

    Whether you are seeking a mortgage for your new home or investment property, or simply wish to review your existing mortgage to determine its competitiveness, My Mortgage Company offer the experience and resources to help you find the one that best matches your needs and circumstances.

    David Whittle - Partner
    David is married and lives locally in the area and started his estate agency career in 1982 with an independent estate agent at Fiveways. After progressing quickly through the ranks he was soon successfully managing and improving the performance of a number of corporate estate agent offices in both the Fiveways and Preston Park areas. David is very well known in the area and has long standing associations with many clients and values repeat business very highly as recognition of a service well received. With over 30 years experience of selling homes in the local area he was keen some years ago to establish his own estate agency business which with the help of his business partner David Coleby he made this a reality in 2006 when David & Co was formed. Outside of work, David is interested in many sports and enjoys keeping fit being a keen marathon runner and ultra runner and enjoys nothing more than spending time on the South Downs with his two border collies.

    David Coleby - Partner
    David is married and lives just outside Brighton, he has worked in the Brighton & Hove area for some 35 years covering most parts of the city, managing offices for local independent firms as well as large corporate groups before starting his own firm with David Whittle at Fiveways some 10 years ago. He is far better suited to the independent estate agency where its more about the people and he prefers the chance to build relationships whilst being friendly and professional. He really appreciates it when feedback like this is sent in as it means the client has gone away happy. 'The main reason we decided to put our house on the market with them was their gentle professional approach. They weren't pushy and really understood our needs and the market in the area. David & Co assisted in the negotiations and made it possible to buy and sell at the prices we needed to be able to make the move. Even though the moving experience had its predictable hold-ups, David & Co, were very good in keeping us informed and spent a lot of time and effort in keeping us up to date with proceedings. I could happily recommend them to anyone' One of the best feelings is when you hand over the keys and know no you have helped in making the clients dream come true. Outside of work travel is always top of the list with the annual pilgrimage to the 24hr Le Mans race a firm favourite.

      They break the mould of the stereotypical  agent
      Having recently sold a house through David & Co I can't recommend them enough. They very much break the mould of the stereotypical estate agent. They know the market really well, they are proactive and are a real asset to navigate the complications of moving house. Never brash or pushy they quietly worked away on our behalf. Even when our first sale fell though they didn't panic, they changed their strategy on how to advertise the property and got it sold again within a week of putting it back on the market. They don't promise the earth, they just deliver

      friendly, fair and highly effective
      When going to sell our house in Fiveways there was no question of who we would be putting it on the market with, having dealt with David Coleby when looking to buy in the area 8 years previously. They are friendly, fair and highly effective at what they do, hence having the best reputation in the area.From the start of the process to the finish, we didn't regret using David & Co one bit. David's wealth of contacts secured us an over-asking price offer, and his experienced approach meant that when our chain got tricky towards the end, he was able to get it back on track, guiding us through the process and constantly coming up with solutions.Most of all, David is straight up and trustworthy, so you have none of the game playing you can feel with other agents. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them, as I have done to several friends in the area.

      the single best estate agent that we've dealt with
      David & Co are the single best estate agent that we've dealt with in Brighton. They are normal people, down to earth, fast, friendly and professional. We became actively put off properties that were with other agents once we met, and realised how great, David & Co are - we were happy to ultimately find a house that they were the agents on and we cannot recommend them enough.

      David & Co were brilliant
      David & Co were brilliant when we bought our first home in July 19. After issues with our first solicitor, they were the only ones who made themselfs available to answer questions and communicate what was going on. Further more they rescued the situation by putting us in touch with a fantastic new solicitor who got whole situation resolved very quickly and with very little stress. They always responded to an email or a phone call within an hour. We would recommend them to friends and family.

      we feel that they held the chain together
      I can't sing the praises of David (and David!) highly enough. We have recently bought through them and, even though they weren't acting for us, we feel that they held the chain together with their experience, professionalism, patience and proactivity. In a much maligned industry, sometimes perhaps fairly, we found David (and David!) to be the exception to the rule. On reflection, I just wish we'd sold with them too.
