Porting Your Mortgage

Move home without leaving your mortgage deal behind

What does 'Porting a Mortgage' mean?

Porting your mortgage allows you to transfer your existing mortgage deal from your current property to a new one. This can be especially valuable if you have secured a competitive fixed rate that you do not want to lose when moving home.

Many homeowners assume they must repay their mortgage and start again when buying another property. In reality, many mortgage products are portable, meaning the rate and terms can be moved to a new property, subject to lender approval.

This can help you avoid early repayment charges and maintain a favourable interest rate.

When porting a mortgage makes sense

Homeowners often consider porting when:

  • They are moving home during a fixed rate period

  • Their current mortgage rate is lower than new market rates

  • They want to avoid early repayment charges

  • They want continuity in their mortgage payments

However, porting is not always straightforward and lenders still reassess affordability.

How Can EHF Help You Port Your Mortgage?

Porting your mortgage is not always the best option. In some cases, switching to a new mortgage deal could provide better value, even after early repayment charges are taken into account.

EHF Mortgages compares both options so you can make the right decision.

We help you:

  • Check if your mortgage is portable
  • Also, check your circumstances match your lender’s requirements
  • Compare porting versus remortgaging options
  • Arrange additional borrowing if needed
  • Manage lender affordability checks
  • Secure the most suitable mortgage structure for your move

 

If you are moving home in Chelmsford or elsewhere in Essex, EHF Mortgages can guide you through the porting process and ensure your mortgage continues to work for you.
