Local insights for brokers

Hastings is an East Sussex coastal town with a population of around 92,000, combining historic Old Town character with significant post-war and 1960s development in St Leonards-on-Sea and adjacent areas. The property market is unusual: historically one of the more deprived parts of the South East, Hastings has seen rapid gentrification and price growth since 2020 driven by London outward migration, particularly into the Old Town and Hastings Pier area. Average property prices sit around £240,000 — affordable by Sussex standards but rising faster than regional averages. The housing stock includes a significant proportion of flat conversions, HMOs, ex-local-authority properties, and unusual building types (former guesthouses, seafront hotels converted to flats), all of which require specialist lender knowledge. A substantial creative and self-employed population has relocated from London, creating demand for specialist self-employed mortgage advice and bridging finance for renovation projects.

Regional lenders worth knowing

Sussex has significant holiday-let and second-home activity along the coast — Bath Building Society and Family BS have good criteria for holiday-let cases. Regional BS options are generally stronger than mainstream for specialist coastal cases.

Regionally-active lenders for this area include:

  • Hanley Economic Building Society
  • Bath Building Society
  • Newbury Building Society
  • Saffron Building Society

Brokers in the area will typically work primarily with mainstream UK lenders (Halifax, Nationwide, Santander, Barclays, NatWest, HSBC) for standard cases, but knowing the regional options can meaningfully improve outcomes on specialist, non-standard, or sub-prime cases. If you are new to the area and building out your lender panel, these regional societies are a sensible starting point alongside the mainstream high-street names.
