Brentwood is a prestigious town in Essex, known for its excellent schools including Brentwood School, vibrant high street with boutique shops and restaurants, strong commuter links to London via rail and the M25, and a mix of period properties and modern developments, making it highly desirable for families and professionals seeking quality of life with outstanding connectivity.
If you're buying, moving home or reviewing an existing mortgage in Brentwood, our role is to make sure you start in the right place before regulated advice is given.
Mortgage Advice for Buyers and Homeowners in Brentwood
Brentwood has a premium property market, from Victorian and Edwardian homes near the town centre to substantial detached properties in areas like Shenfield and Hutton, with strong demand and competitive pricing reflecting the town's prestige and excellent schools.
Different property types and buyer situations can affect lender criteria, borrowing limits and mortgage options, which is why early clarity matters.

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 Brentwood?
Yes. We regularly help first-time buyers, home movers and homeowners in Brentwood 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 Brentwood?
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 Brentwood?
Most lenders require a minimum deposit of 5-10% of the property value, though larger deposits often give you access to better mortgage rates. Given Brentwood's premium property market, a mortgage adviser can help you understand what deposit level works best for your budget and goals.
Can I get a mortgage in Brentwood if I'm self-employed?
Yes. Self-employed buyers in Brentwood 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 Brentwood are most popular with buyers?
Popular areas in Brentwood include Shenfield for excellent schools and rail links, Hutton for larger family homes with green space, and the town centre for period properties with character and proximity to amenities. Each area has different property types and price points, which can affect mortgage options.
