What happens to your mortgage when you move home?
When you move home, one of the first decisions is whether to transfer your existing mortgage to your new property, known as porting, or arrange a completely new mortgage. The right option depends on your current mortgage, the property you’re buying and the mortgage deals available at the time.
Most lenders will reassess your income, expenditure and overall affordability, so the amount you can borrow may be different from when you took out your existing mortgage.
If interest rates have changed since you first arranged your mortgage, it may be worth comparing new mortgage products rather than automatically transferring your existing deal. I’ll explain the advantages and disadvantages of each option, so you can make an informed decision.
As an independent, whole-of-market mortgage adviser, I’ll compare the options available and recommend the most suitable solution based on your circumstances, helping you move home with confidence.
Every home move is different, so I’ll explain your options clearly and guide you through the process from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Home Mover Mortgage Questions in Essex
Below are answers to some of the questions I’m most frequently asked by clients who are moving home in Essex. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please get in touch and I’ll be happy to help.
Can I transfer my existing mortgage when I move home?
Yes. Many mortgages can be ported to a new property, but it’s not always the best option. I’ll explain whether transferring your existing mortgage or arranging a new deal is likely to be more suitable for your circumstances.
Can I borrow more when I move house?
Yes, provided you meet the lender’s affordability criteria. If you’re buying a more expensive property, I can help you understand how much you may be able to borrow and compare lenders’ criteria.
How long does a home mover mortgage take?
Every application is different, but most mortgage applications take several weeks from submission to mortgage offer. I’ll keep you updated throughout the process and work with your lender and solicitor to help keep everything on track.
Can you help if I'm moving to another area in Essex?
Yes. I help home movers across Essex, including Chelmsford, Romford, Brentwood, Hornchurch, Upminster, Emerson Park and the surrounding areas.
Do you charge a mortgage advice fee?
Yes. My mortgage advice fee is £295, and it’s only payable on completion. I’ll explain all costs clearly before you decide to proceed.
Can you help arrange life insurance and mortgage protection?
Yes. Alongside your mortgage, I can help arrange life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection to help protect you, your family and your home if the unexpected happens.
Can I keep my existing mortgage if I move home?
In many cases, yes. Some mortgages can be transferred to your new property, known as porting. I’ll explain whether keeping your existing mortgage or switching to a new deal is likely to be the better option.
What happens if I'm moving to a cheaper property?
If you’re downsizing, I’ll explain how your existing mortgage may be affected, whether early repayment charges apply and the options available to help you reduce your borrowing if appropriate.
Why should I use an independent mortgage adviser when moving home?
As an independent, whole-of-market mortgage adviser, I compare mortgages from a wide range of UK lenders rather than being restricted to a single bank. I’ll explain your options, recommend the most suitable mortgage for your circumstances and manage the application from start to finish.
