Here’s everything you need to know about moving home with a mortgage. Get in touch if there’s something specific you’d like to ask. You can get in touch by getting started or submitting a question to an expert mortgage advisor.

Understand your budget with a Decision in Principle

A decision in principle is also called an “agreement” or “mortgage” in principle. They all refer to the same thing which is an initial yes from a mortgage lender. This is here to give you an idea of what you can expect to borrow. This helps understand your budget for buying your home. This is the best place to start.

A decision in principle will also allow you to see what mortgage rates you are eligible for. This also helps budget your potential mortgage monthly repayments. 

Many estate agents will ask to see a decision in principle if you would like to place an offer on a property. This acts as a way of showing the agent you can likely afford to purchase the property and that you are a serious buyer. Remember, you can use any mortgage advisor you like, even if they suggest otherwise.

Ready to move home ? Let's get you started

We;re here to help you compare your mortgage options to get the most out of your move and not miss out on savings.

I want to move home but I have a fixed rate mortgage?

We can help look at the options with your current lender or other providers. In many cases, you may be able to “port” your existing mortgage to your new home. This means you can keep your existing rate and top up any new balance needed. This can often help you avoid any costly early repayment charges. In some cases, a new lender is the best option. Important – you may need to pay an early repayment charge to your current lender if your remortgage early.

How much deposit will I need?

This will depend on several things  such as:

  • Your credit history
  • Your income 
  • The property you are looking at buying 

We’re here to help you understand exactly how much deposit you can expect to need. This can help you budget with clarity  and understand how much you can keep back for furniture etc. 

Minimal advice fees

We believe in minimal advice fees to help you save on your mortgage. There may be a fee for arranging a mortgage however, the precise amount will depend upon your circumstances and this will not exceed £195. The fee may be waived subject to the terms of the fee waiver agreement and will be confirmed within the initial meeting.
