Braintree is a quaint town in Essex situated 10 miles north of Chelmsford, 15 miles west of Colchester and 54 miles northeast of London. Bocking is an area of Braintree that is growing in size, so the town is sometimes referred to as Braintree and Bocking.
It is thought that the first houses built on the site of Braintree were established 4,000 years ago in the Bronze and Iron Ages. This location was chosen due to the closeness of the River Brain.
In the 14th century the town began processing and manufacturing woollen cloth and continued to do so until the late 19th century. This type of manufacturing was taken over by silk manufacturing which resulted in Braintree becoming a thriving town with a good economy.
Attractions in Braintree include the Braintree Museum, the Braintree Arts Theatre and the Braintree and Bocking Carnival that takes place each summer.

Essex is not only a coastal county (the North Sea is to its east) but a home county because it touches Greater London on its eastern borders. Its settlements vary from Colchester, which is very historical and used to be the capital of England as Camulodunum, to Southend, a seaside resort, to Basildon, which is a comparatively modern urban development. The western side of Essex hosts many London workers and there are fast rail links to, for example, Shenfield from London Liverpool Street which aid many city workers.Essex's county town is Chelmsford (and is the county's only city), where Essex County Cricket Club are based. Essex hosts Stansted Airport and attractions such as the Lakeside Shopping Centre, near Thurrock and Epping Forest, a popular forest for camping and other activities. A large proportion of Essex's boundaries are water (the River Thames and the North Sea), the remainder includes Greater London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. Kent is across the River Thames to the south.

What are the conveyancing costs?
The solicitors' fees for handling your conveyance vary dramatically depending on whether you approach an online conveyancing solicitor, a high street conveyancer or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed as they are set including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
It is important to make sure when budgeting the costs of moving home that you factor in all of the above conveyancing costs and ensure you get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from your chosen local solicitors or licensed conveyancer.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.

Why do I need the Regulated Drainage and Water Search?
The Regulated Drainage and Water Search is one of the four main searches that lenders require from those who are buying a home with a mortgage.
Search companies compile data from the relevant water authority and the report is in the form of a number of essential questions with a summary answer to each, then later sections analyse in much greater depth each question asked.
You will find out essential facts about your water supply and drainage but you will also find out if there are any risks from sewers overflowing or bad water quality. If any risks are flagged up, your ability to buy insurance against flooding might be affected and you may well be advised to seek further information.
