Home Mover Mortgage FAQs
Should I port my mortgage or switch to a new lender?
You might want to port your mortgage to your new home if you have a particularly competitive rate or you want to avoid early repayment charges. Alternatively, switching to a new lender might give you a better deal. Sometimes, an existing lender won’t let you port your mortgage, so you’ll have to find a new one. The exact answer will depend on your specific circumstances. We can help you determine the right option.
How long does it take to get a home mover mortgage offer?
The exact amount of time can vary by lender, the house you’re buying, and the timing of the mortgage valuation survey. However, we usually expect to receive an offer within a month of applying.
Do I need a deposit for a home mover mortgage?
You will need a deposit of at least 5% for your new mortgage. The deposit can be taken from the equity in your home when you sell your existing house.
How much can I borrow as a home mover?
The amount you can borrow will depend on several factors including your income, outgoings and deposit. Every lender assesses affordability and risk differently, so some will lend more than others. With access to a wide range of lenders, we can approach those more likely to give you the mortgage you need.
What are the mortgage costs when moving house?
Several costs are involved in moving home. These include estate agent fees for your house sale, solicitor’s fees for the sale and purchase, Stamp Duty on your purchase (depending on the purchase price), and valuation fees for your new mortgage. You may also need to pay a mortgage broker fee and may have removal costs.
