As the effects of Coronavirus and the UK lockdowns recede, Essex based specialist mortgage brokers Simply Lending Solutions are to start offering face-to-face services to their customers again.

In order to give something back to the local Great Baddow community, who’ve been without any in person options for mortgage and financial services advice since Barclays Bank closed their branch in the area in 2014, their brand-new mortgage shop in Great Baddow is now open.

The first in series of planned London and Southern UK one stop mortgage shops for customers, Simply Lending Solutions offer a whole market mortgage service. This means homebuyers, and those looking to remortgage, get expert mortgage advice and information, plus access to the best deals available for their circumstances.

The team of CeMAP qualified mortgage brokers can help with any mortgage, remortgage or mortgage protection enquiries, but specialise in helping with unusual or financially complicated scenarios. This means helping source mortgages for doctors, nurses, police, keyworkers, the self-employed, company directors and for those with unusual income streams is a speciality.

Caroline Raxworthy-Beckett, the lead mortgage broker in Chelmsford at the Great Baddow office explained “Healthcare workers are among those who work irregular hours with frequent overtime and other additional payments. Mortgage lenders often fail to understand these applicants’ actual income, leading to a situation where they may not be accessing the best mortgage deal possible. We have years of experience working with this type of lender and can provide tailored advice to all keyworkers”.

Although the majority of work undertaken by Simply Lending Solutions is carried out by phone or email, some local customers would prefer to meet their broker in person, particularly if they don’t have to travel far to do so.

To give all Chelmsford customers the option to get mortgage advice locally, they have opened a new office in The Vineyards Shopping Centre, Great Baddow, Chelmsford. Customers who would still prefer to meet remotely are also catered for, as Zoom, Teams or Google online appointments can also be arranged.

Simply Lending Solutions director Liam Atkins said, “We know that as things gradually return to normal, our customers will appreciate the opportunity to speak to a mortgage broker in a convenient town centre location”.

The new Chelmsford Great Baddow office shows Simply Lending Solutions confidence in the UK mortgage market and the local Chelmsford and Essex area. As Liam says, “Essex is a beautiful county to live and work in. As a company that started in the area it made sense to us that our latest branch would be here. Great Baddow is only a couple of miles from the A12, which offers great connectivity to the wider area without the need to drive into central Chelmsford. There’s also the added bonus of 2 hours free parking at The Vineyards”

Simply Lending Solutions has supported key workers thought the Covid-19 pandemic with a free mortgage broker service and remains committed to helping those who have been working tirelessly against Coronavirus. They continue to offer specialist free mortgage broker services to all keyworkers throughout the pandemic.
