Home Mover Mortgages
What is a Home Mover Mortgage?
A home mover is a mortgage for anyone moving house from one property to another property. There are two options when moving home:
A current mortgage transfer to the new property is known as porting.
Nowadays, most mortgages are portable. It means you can move your current mortgage over to your new property. If your new property is more expensive than your current one, you have to increase your mortgage with your current lender. Effectively, your lender will require you to take out a separate mortgage that covers the price difference, and you will run 2 mortgage accounts with them.
Another option is to replace your existing mortgage by taking out an entirely new mortgage with your current provider if you are not tied to your mortgage product. Alternatively, you can look for a mortgage with a different lender.
How to check the cost of moving?
The cost of moving to a new house depends on many factors, such as which estate agents you go with, solicitors you use for the transaction, how much your onward purchase is (stamp duty), costs of remortgaging, and other factors that can come into effect.
We understand that your home is your biggest financial asset, so it is worth reviewing all your options. As a knowledgeable mortgage adviser, we will assess whether it is in your best interest to change to a new mortgage agreement or transfer your current one to your new property.

Do I need to save for a deposit?
The deposit can come from the equity within your current home. We would go through a cost of move with you, work out how much equity you would have after all fees have been paid for and this would then leave you with the deposit or your onward purchase.
If you do have additional savings, they can be added to the pot to give you a higher deposit.

This depends on many factors such as which estate agents you go with, solicitors you use for the transaction, how much your onward purchase is (stamp duty), and sometimes other factors will come into effect. We would take you through a cost of the moving and give you an idea of costs once we know what you are wanting to achieve.
I want to keep my current property, can I do this?
