What happens to your mortage if you have to rent?

We have an existing mortage with C&G and will be adding to it by 20k but as we sold our house a while ago and have not found anywhere to suit us yet, it's looking likely that we will have to rent for a few months. Can someone tell us what happens to our mortgage agreement? Will it just be put on hold for a while or will we have to apply all over again? Thanks

    Your existing mortgage will be redeemed when the property is sold.

    When you find the property you wish to buy you'll need to go through the whole application process again.
  • Oh really, that's very annoying. Thanks anyway for your comment.

    If porting the loan then some lenders will hold the deal for a while.

    Any ERC may have to be paid and refunded later if the funds are drawn in time.

    Even porting you still have to go through a similar process to a new loan.
