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?
Braintree Conveyancing Solicitor fees dramatically vary 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.

What are property searches?
Property searches are reports from the water, environmental companies and the local councils about the location your property is situated in.
They provide you with information about the property which your seller may not know such as planning consents, highways information and road adoption agreements, and any notices and/or restrictions affecting the property and information about the main water supply, the location of public water drains, whether there are any public sewers within the boundaries of the property or in the near vicinity, and if any sewers or proposed sewers are adopted.
Searches are highly important in the conveyancing process as they could bring light to potential issues which your solicitor should know about and about which they may want to raise further enquiries with the seller and their solicitor.
If you're buying with a mortgage, there are certain searches you are required to get but these are worth getting anyway to help your solicitor best complete their report on title.
