We arrange an appointment at a time that suits — face-to-face, video call, or phone — to understand your circumstances and needs.
We search our panel of 100+ lenders for the right product. We're not tied to any lender, giving you access to the right deals.
We present the right option, explaining all features and benefits — no jargon, no pressure.

Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or relocating — here's what you need to know about your mortgage options.
You may be able to "port" your existing mortgage to your new property, keeping your current rate and terms. However, this isn't always the right option — we'll compare it against new deals.
If your new home costs more than your current property, you'll need to increase your mortgage. Lenders will reassess your affordability, and you may need a "top-up" alongside your ported deal.
The equity released when you sell your current home usually becomes the deposit on your new one. The more equity you carry over, the better the rates and loan-to-value bands available to you.
Coordinating your sale and purchase can be complex, especially in longer chains. We work closely with solicitors and estate agents to keep everything on track and avoid delays.
Moving home is the perfect time to review your life insurance and protection policies. If you're borrowing more, your existing cover may no longer be sufficient. We'll check and advise.
Budget for stamp duty, solicitor fees, surveyor costs, estate agent fees on your sale, removal costs, and mortgage fees. We'll give you a clear picture of the total cost of your move.
Answers to the questions we hear most from people moving home.
A home mover mortgage is for people selling their current property and buying a new one. You can either port your existing mortgage, take out a completely new deal, or do a combination of both depending on your situation.
Yes, "porting" your mortgage is often possible, but it's not always the right option. You could be missing out on more competitive rates available elsewhere. Our adviser will compare porting against new deals so you get the right outcome.
If your new home costs more, you'll need to increase your borrowing. Lenders will conduct a fresh affordability assessment based on your current income and commitments. The equity from your sale will act as your deposit on the new property.
Yes, you pay standard stamp duty rates on your new property (from April 2025: 0% up to £125,000, then 2%, 5%, 10%, and 12% on higher bands). As you're replacing your main residence, you won't pay the additional property surcharge.
If your sale collapses, your purchase may also be affected. Most mortgage offers are valid for 3–6 months, giving time to find a new buyer. We'll guide you through the options and can quickly arrange alternative financing if needed.
A home move typically takes 8–14 weeks from offer acceptance to completion, depending on the chain length and complexity. We work to keep things moving and will flag any potential delays early so they can be resolved quickly.
