Mortgage Brokers in Hastings

Hastings is the most affordable town on this stretch of coast, and that shapes everything about its market. Flats here average well under half the price of a flat in Lewes, which is why the town has drawn steady interest from London leavers, first time buyers and landlords. It also has an unusually high concentration of Victorian villa conversions, particularly across St Leonards, where a single building may hold four or five flats. Conversions raise questions for lenders about leases, service charges and how a building is split, and lender appetite varies considerably. Quanstrom Financial works on a whole of market basis across the Old Town, St Leonards, West Hill, Bohemia, Silverhill, Hollington and Ore.

Popular Mortgage Options in Hastings

Flats in Hastings average around £141,000 and terraced houses around £254,000 - among the lowest entry points anywhere in the South East, which makes the town a genuine option for first time buyers and investors alike. Trains reach London Charing Cross in around an hour and a half, with an hourly Marshlink service to Ashford International. We advise on residential, first time buyer, remortgage and buy to let cases, subject to lender criteria.

Land Registry data puts the average Hastings home at around £237,000 as at June 2026, with the town remaining comfortably the most affordable in the area - a real opportunity for buyers who have been priced out elsewhere on the coast. Detached houses average around £474,000, semi-detached homes around £324,000, terraced houses around £254,000 and flats around £141,000. Because the borough contains such a high proportion of flats, the headline average sits below what a typical house costs.

Character varies sharply between neighbourhoods. The Old Town, with its listed buildings and conservation area, and the Regency and Victorian grandeur of St Leonards sit at one end; Ore, Hollington and Silverhill offer the most accessible pricing. The Stade is still home to the UK's largest beach-launched fishing fleet, and the town's economy leans on health, education, public services and retail.

‍

Regeneration is active. Station Plaza has delivered 103 apartments in two phases, Priory Square adds 42 dwellings on the former university site, and 89 studio flats are proposed at Queensbury House opposite the station. The largest scheme is Four Courts in St Leonards, where Southern Housing and Homes England plan around 450 social rent homes replacing the 1960s tower blocks, with a planning application expected in late 2026 and construction from 2028. These figures are rounded averages and move over time; treat them as a guide rather than a valuation.
