Frequently asked

Answers to common questions.

These answers are general. Advice and lender criteria depend on your individual circumstances.

What does porting a mortgage mean?

Porting means applying to take an existing mortgage product to a new property. It is not automatic: the lender will assess a new application, the property and the borrowing required.

Can I borrow more when I move?

Possibly. Additional borrowing is subject to affordability, lender criteria and the new property. The additional amount may be on a different product or interest rate from the amount being ported.

What if my sale and purchase complete on different dates?

The mortgage and legal implications depend on the gap and the lender’s rules. Your conveyancer and adviser should be involved early so the available options can be considered.

When should I review the mortgage for a move?

Ideally before you commit to a purchase price. An early review helps identify the estimated budget, porting conditions, charges and documents before the sale and purchase progress too far.
