Your Local Lexden & Prettygate Mortgage Broker
Looking for a mortgage broker in Lexden & Prettygate, Colchester? Mortgage321 has been helping homebuyers, homeowners and property investors across Colchester and Essex secure the right mortgage since 2009. As a whole-of-market broker, we are not tied to any single lender — meaning we research a comprehensive range of UK lenders to find the deal that fits your circumstances.
Lexden and Prettygate (CO3) are among Colchester's most desirable residential areas, stretching west from the town centre along leafy, established roads of larger detached and semi-detached homes. The housing stock is predominantly inter-war and post-war, with substantial family homes on the wider roads.
The area's appeal is the combination of period charm, substantial gardens and well-regarded schools, which keeps family demand — and values — strong. Lexden village itself retains a parade of local shops and a village feel despite being within easy reach of the town centre.
Property here is generally mainstream, so most high-street lenders are comfortable. Some of the larger period homes have been extended or converted, and a few sit in conservation areas where planning constraints apply. We know which lenders take a sensible view of period construction and converted properties.
