Home Mover Mortgage Broker

A home mover mortgage is a term to describe a new mortgage to help you buy a new home. They’re mostly used by people moving up the property ladder, but they could be used by people downsizing in some circumstances as well.

In reality, a home mover mortgage is no different from other standard residential mortgages, but ensuring you get the right mortgage for a new property remains important.

Who can use a home mover mortgage?

Home mover mortgages should be used by anyone who currently owns a mortgaged home but wants to move to a new property. They’re not suitable for first-time buyers. Applicants will still need to meet affordability checks on the new mortgage and meet minimum deposit requirements.

Some mortgages might be able to move from one property to the next, provided the new property meets lender requirements. This is known as “porting”, which could be more beneficial if you’re downsizing. However, a home mover mortgage might still offer a better deal, so it’s always worth investigating.

Home mover mortgage considerations

There are many important considerations before you use a home mover mortgage. One of the most important considerations is if your existing mortgage includes any early repayment fees.

If you need to pay an early repayment charge to repay your existing mortgage earlier, any savings that you make using a home mover mortgage could be wiped out. This needs to be calculated before proceeding.

The pros of using an adviser for a home mover mortgage

A home mover mortgage might be the right option for you, but this can only be determined by analysing your circumstances and the terms of your existing mortgage. There may be some better alternatives, such as extending the borrowing on your existing mortgage or porting the mortgage.

A financial adviser will ensure that you make the right call. They’ll provide their knowledge and expertise to help you make an informed decision. They can then also help you find the most suitable home mover mortgage and make an application. With a financial adviser at your side, you won’t choose the wrong option for your circumstances and the process will be smoother.
