Local experts. Genuinely on your side.
MDJ Mortgages is an award-winning broker based at Chineham Court in Basingstoke. We help first-time buyers, movers, landlords and later-life borrowers find the right mortgage and protect what matters.

From childhood memories to changing lives.
Mark Jones started MDJ with a simple idea: mortgage advice should feel personal, because a home is personal.
Some of Mark’s earliest memories are of visits to his grandmother’s home in Farnham, a place full of family, warmth and security. That feeling of what a home means to a family is what drives the business today, whether he’s helping a first-time buyer leave renting behind or advising a retired couple on releasing equity to help their grandchildren.
MDJ has grown to a small, close-knit team with an outsized reputation, recognised in the Quality Business Awards three years running and trusted by hundreds of families across Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey.
