MOVING HOME MORTGAGE ESSENTIALS

What should you know before moving home?

Whether you're upsizing, downsizing or relocating, here's what to consider when arranging a mortgage for your next home.

Your property equity

The equity in your current home could help fund the deposit for your next property. How much you have available depends on your home's value and outstanding mortgage.

Porting your mortgage

You may be able to transfer your existing mortgage deal to your new home, potentially avoiding early repayment charges. Porting is subject to your lender's approval and affordability checks.

How much you can borrow

Your income, existing commitments and the equity in your property can affect your borrowing options. If you're upsizing, you may need to borrow more to fund your next home.

Costs of moving home

Budget for estate agent fees, conveyancing, removals and any applicable Stamp Duty Land Tax. Mortgage fees and early repayment charges may also apply when changing properties.

Variable-rate mortgages: With a variable-rate mortgage, your interest rate will fluctuate based on the Bank of England base rate. This means that your monthly payments may go up or down, depending on the market. However, if interest rates fall, you will benefit from the lower rates.

Tracker mortgages: A tracker mortgage is a type of variable-rate mortgage that tracks the Bank of England base rate. This means that your interest rate will always be a certain percentage above the base rate.

Discounted mortgages: A discounted mortgage is a type of variable-rate mortgage that is offered at a discount to the lender’s standard variable rate (SVR). This means that your interest rate will be lower than the SVR, but it may still fluctuate.
