We work with clients at every stage of their property search:

• Home Mover Mortgage: This is a mortgage specifically designed for people who are selling their existing property and buying a new one.

• Let to Buy:  This is a strategy where you turn your current home into a rental property (buy-to-let) and use the rental income to help secure a mortgage on your new home (purchase).

• Porting: This refers to transferring your existing mortgage deal from your current property to your new one. It can be a good way to keep your current interest rate and avoid early repayment charges, but it depends on the lender and the value of your new property.
