Frequently Asked Questions
Do you give mortgage advice?
We don't give mortgage advice ourselves. We help you understand your options and, where advice is needed, introduce you to a qualified mortgage adviser.
Do the advisers you work with cover the whole mortgage market?
Yes. The advisers we work with have access to a wide range of UK mortgage lenders, not just one bank or building society.
Is there a fee to use Essex Mortgage Expert?
There's no charge for an initial conversation. Any fees are discussed clearly by the mortgage adviser before you proceed.
Can you help first-time buyers and remortgages in Basildon?
Yes. We regularly help first-time buyers, home movers and homeowners in Basildon who are looking to remortgage or review their current deal.
Why not just go directly to a bank?
Banks only offer their own products. A mortgage adviser can compare options across multiple lenders to find a suitable solution for your circumstances.
How long does it take to get a mortgage in Basildon?
The mortgage process typically takes 4-8 weeks from application to completion, though this can vary depending on your circumstances, the property, and the lender. A qualified mortgage adviser can help speed up the process by ensuring your application is complete and accurate from the start.
What deposit do I need to buy a house in Basildon?
Most lenders require a minimum deposit of 5-10% of the property value, though larger deposits often give you access to better mortgage rates. A mortgage adviser can help you understand what deposit level works best for your situation and budget.
Can I get a mortgage in Basildon if I'm self-employed?
Yes. Self-employed buyers in Basildon can get mortgages, though lenders typically require 2-3 years of accounts or tax returns. A specialist mortgage adviser can help self-employed buyers navigate lender criteria and find suitable mortgage options.
What areas of Basildon are most popular with buyers?
Popular areas in Basildon include Laindon for family homes, Pitsea for affordable properties and good transport links, and Wickford for a more traditional town feel with excellent schools. Each area has different property types and price points, which can affect mortgage options.
