How to get a mortgage - or remortgage - in Braintree


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.


The mortgage application process has 4 stages regardless of which mortgage lender you use:

  • Approval in principal (AIP)
  • Mortgage in principal (MIP)
  • Mortgage valuation
  • Mortgage Offer

Mortgage Broker Tip 

Regularly moving house can affect your credit score

You will often be asked “Have you lived at this address for longer than 3 years?” because if you haven’t been registered at one address for a long period of time this can have a negative effect on your credit rating.

Lenders favour stability and consistency over constant change so if they see evidence of you regularly moving on your credit report they may be less likely to lend to you.

Offset Mortgage

Offset mortgages are those in which you have a savings account linked to your mortgage. The savings account you link it with will no longer receive interest, but the benefit is you don’t pay interest on your mortgage up to the value of your savings account.

You only pay interest on the difference between the value within your savings and the value of your mortgage. It is possible to save thousands of pounds with this type of mortgage as you aren’t paying a lot of the interest you would be paying without this offset, so you may be able to pay off your mortgage quicker.

Mortgage Broker Tips for the Conveyancing Process

Instruct a solicitor even before your offer has been accepted.

If you instruct a solicitor at the earliest possible time, once your offer on a Braintree property is accepted, you will be ready to get things underway and the seller will see how intent you are on purchasing their property. 

By being organised you are indicating to the seller that you should be able to complete in good time and the process will be as smooth as possible, thereby potentially increasing your chance of success.
