A Little About Me
I’m originally from the U.S. and spent the first two decades of my career as a financial journalist in London and Frankfurt. I’m based in Brighton now, but I still get a kick out of simplifying and explaining financial issues that seem impenetrable at first. My mission now is to take all the hassle out of the mortgage process so you can have more time for the things you enjoy doing.
Who I Work With
Whether you’re a Londoner trying to escape to the beach, a self-employed artist in Brighton, or trying to figure out how to unlock the home equity you’ve built up for years, I can help. Mortgage advice is different for everyone, and I will make sure you’re getting what you need.
My Mortgage Superpower
Being a mortgage broker is all about solving problems. My experience as a journalist taught me how to be resourceful in getting to the bottom of stories. Even though the days of chasing scoops are behind me, I’ll use the same grit and determination to get your mortgage problems solved.
If you want to talk about why interest rates are going up and down, well, that’s right up my street. You won’t find many brokers who have followed economics, the Bank of England, and financial regulation as closely as I have.
At the same time, I also understand that being your broker is about more than just getting you a good deal–it’s about making everything easy and comprehensible as you make some of the biggest financial decisions of your life.
What I can help with...
Me Outside Delta
Outside of work, I play guitar in a band and am always up for a conversation about music. I have two sons who love skateboarding and football–at the weekends you’ll find me watching them do one or the other. And living in Brighton means my wife and I can take lots of long walks with the dog, either at the beach or in the chalk hills of the South Downs.

Hear from happy people
"Brian Swint was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in arranging our mortgage and helped us navigate a number of complicated issues and secure a great deal. Also, he’s a really nice guy!"
"Very happy with all of the service I received here, Peter Connew got me a tracker mortgage sorted when my property was on the market when others said they couldn't. Then he sorted a mortgage for an onward purchase, swapping it to a cheaper tariff late on. Thanks"
Your property could be at risk if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage, or any debt secured on it.
