Homes in Brentwood and Shenfield are often higher in value, so moving usually involves a significant mortgage decision. With the Elizabeth line and the M25 close by, many people move within the area to find more space or a better location.
We review your current mortgage, explain whether to port it or arrange a new one, and help you coordinate your sale and your purchase.
Moving home in Brentwood
Larger loans have their own considerations. Some lenders have different criteria for higher borrowing, and the way they assess your income and outgoings may be more detailed. If part of your income is a bonus, commission or dividends, tell us early so we can explain how lenders are likely to treat it.
Brentwood is popular with families looking for particular school catchments, and demand can be strong for the right home, which means buyers sometimes need to act quickly. Having your mortgage position clear in advance helps. If you are downsizing, for example from a larger family home in Warley or Hutton to a smaller one, you may find you can reduce your borrowing, and we can talk through your options for what to do with any equity released.

Frequently asked questions
How do lenders treat bonus or commission income when I move?
Lenders treat it in different ways. Some use an average over recent years, and some count only part of it. We can explain how your income is likely to be seen before you apply.
I am downsizing from Brentwood. Can I reduce my mortgage?
Often you can, if the new home costs less. You could use the difference to reduce your borrowing, although there may be early repayment charges to consider. We can show you the figures.
Should I port my mortgage?
It depends on your current deal, how much more you need to borrow, and what other mortgages are available. We compare the options and explain which looks best for you.
Will I pay an early repayment charge?
If you repay your mortgage during an early repayment charge period, your lender may charge you. Porting can sometimes avoid this. We will check your mortgage terms.
Important information
- Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
- You may have to pay an early repayment charge to your existing lender if you repay your mortgage early.
