House Mover Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, in some cases, you may be able to transfer your existing mortgage to a new property. This is known as “porting” your mortgage. However, it depends on your lender’s policies and your eligibility. You will need to contact your mortgage provider to discuss the options available to you.
A mortgage agreement in principle, also known as a mortgage pre-approval, is a preliminary assessment by a lender to determine how much they might be willing to lend you. It is based on an initial review of your financial situation, credit history, and affordability. An AIP can help you understand your budget and give you a better idea of what you can afford when looking for a new home.
A fixed-rate mortgage means that the interest rate remains the same for a specified period, typically 2, 3, 5, or 10 years. This provides stability and predictable monthly payments during the fixed-rate period. On the other hand, a variable-rate mortgage has an interest rate that can fluctuate over time based on market conditions. This means that your monthly payments may change during the mortgage term.
A mortgage deposit is the upfront amount of money you contribute toward the purchase price of a property. It is typically expressed as a percentage of the property’s value. The minimum deposit required depends on various factors, including the lender’s policies, the type of mortgage, and your financial circumstances. Generally, a higher deposit percentage can lead to better mortgage terms and potentially lower interest rates.
When obtaining a mortgage, there are several fees and costs to consider. These may include application fees, appraisal fees, solicitor or conveyancer fees, mortgage arrangement fees, valuation fees, and potentially other administrative costs. It’s important to review and understand all the associated fees and costs before finalizing a mortgage agreement.
Depending on your lender’s policies and your financial situation, you may be able to borrow additional funds on your existing mortgage when moving to a new property. This is known as a “further advance” or a “top-up” loan. You will need to discuss this option with your lender to determine if you meet the criteria and understand the terms and conditions.
