Porting then remortgaging - Problem?

Currently looking at moving to a larger house, we have the cash saved for the difference in price/value so no additional borrowing required

The mortgage is a NR together mortgage £115k mortgage + £15k unsecured loan so £130k all together

Our 5 year fixed rate 5.99% ends in November so we were going to port the mortgage to avoid the ERC's which would be somewhere in the region of £4k

The house we are moving to is £165k

This would mean our new LTV would be 79%
We are aiming to pay off more of the mortgage as we will not be having to save for a deposit now to get the LTV down to 75% by November so we can have access to better rates when remortgaging

However it just occured to me, will we be able to get a 'remortgage' in November when our fixed rate ends if we have only been in the house 6 months?
