Moving Home?
Can I Port My Mortgage?
If you are you planning on moving to a new house but want to keep your mortgage, you can do this as long as your mortgage is portable, you can make the transition smoothly. The lender will assess the value of the property and your financial status to ensure that you can still afford the mortgage. It's typically easier if the new home is worth the same or less than your current mortgage. In some cases, you may even be able to increase your mortgage if you can manage the repayments. However, if you cannot keep your current mortgage, you will likely need to pay it off, which may result in early repayment charges or ERC's if you are still locked into a mortgage deal.
Visit our FAQ's page to learn about ERC's HERE and much More. Or contact us at PD FINANCE to help you with moving home.
DISCLAIMER: Re-mortgage
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. You may have to pay an Early Repayment Charge to your existing lender if you remortgage.
