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 Rochford?
Yes. We regularly help first-time buyers, home movers and homeowners in Rochford 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.

The mortgage process in Rochford typically takes 4-8 weeks from application to completion, though this can vary depending on your circumstances, the property type, and the lender.

Most lenders require a minimum deposit of 5-10% of the property value, though larger deposits often give you access to better mortgage rates. Rochford offers good value for its market town character and c2c rail connections to London Fenchurch Street.
