Home mover mortgages

Move into your new home seamlessly, with streamlined mortgage support.

Straightforward advice when you’re moving home

Selling and buying at the same time, or buying while having previously owned, can feel like a juggling act. We help home movers understand their options, line up the right mortgage, and keep everything moving smoothly.

At The Mortgage Heroes, we look at the full picture. We’ll explain whether it makes sense to port your mortgage or take a new deal altogether, and we’ll handle the details so you’re not trying to coordinate everything yourself.

What is a home mover mortgage?

A home mover mortgage is for people who already own a property and are buying a new one. This might involve transferring your existing mortgage, switching to a new lender, or re-evaluating how much you need to borrow.

Many people assume they must stay with their current lender or that moving home automatically means starting from scratch. In reality, the best option depends on your current deal, any early repayment charges, your income, and the value of both properties.

Who can qualify?

Home mover mortgages are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and lender criteria can vary. You may be suitable if you already own a property, have equity to put towards your next purchase, and your income supports the new borrowing.

We’ll take you through a cost of moving exercise, showing fees clearly and outlining your available deposit. Changes since your last mortgage, such as income structure or the type of property you’re buying, will also be taken into account. Even if your situation feels more complex, we’ll help you understand what’s realistic before you commit.

FAQs

  • Can I keep my existing mortgage when I move home?

    Sometimes. This is known as porting, but it depends on your lender, the new property, and your affordability.

  • Do I need a new deposit when moving home?

    Often your deposit comes from the equity in your current property, but this can vary depending on sale price and mortgage balance. Your deposit doesn’t necessarily come from your equity, such as when buying and selling aren’t occuring simultaneously.

  • What happens if my circumstances have changed?

    Changes to income, credit, or employment don’t automatically prevent a move. We’ll assess lender options based on your current situation.

  • Can I borrow more when I move?

    Depending on your income and circumstances, you might be able to borrow more when you move. Additional borrowing can depend on affordability, property value, and lender criteria.

  • How long does a home mover mortgage take?

    Timescales vary, especially when selling and buying together. We’ll guide you through each stage and help keep things aligned.

  • Can you help if I haven’t sold my property yet?

    Yes. Many home movers speak to us early to understand budgets and plan next steps.
