Portable Mortgage

Hi everyone

We currently have a fixed rate mortgage with Britannia which is due to end July 2012.

My DH has been offered a job in Norfolk and we want to move so that he can take it, can someone please talk me through porting our mortgage.

I know that it is possible through Britannia as its in the paperwork. But we want to buy a bigger house and will need to extend the mortgage. Will this be possible without paying the erc and having to take a new mortgage?

Many Thanks
BeauBelle

    It's treated as a new application. If it's approved you would keep the current amount at the existing rate - the further amount would be at today's rates.
