Porting a NRAM mortgage

I have read a couple of threads before about this sort of thing but I was wondering whether this would work in our situation.
I know that we can port our mortgage, and I've read in other threads about needing a 5% deposit. So... our mortgage is 80k and unsecured loan 20k. If we sold our house for 80k and bought another for 80k is it right that we would just need the 4k deposit + fee's? Trying to make sense of it before we go any further.
Thanks.

    Unlikely that NRAM will port your mortgage on the basis of a 5% deposit.

    What percentage will NRAM consider for porting ? It is in the interest of the economy that assets can be traded between individuals who have the assets and those that wish to aquire them. Does the unsecured element with NRAM (20K) become a lead balloon trashing any useful deal ?

    I've read on related threads that NRAM will port 95% of the mortgage, so that's a 5% deposit right?

    Apparently 95%. We will still be keeping the unsecured loan with them. I think if we were to pay off the mortgage, therefore separating from the loan, then the % goes up 5%.

    You need to contact NRAM, rather than going on what is posted on other threads.

    NRAM will allow a port at 95% as that was the maximum secured LTV under the Together product.

    You cannot increase your borrowing. Therefore, you can only do this with the same borrowing as you currently have, or less.

    No not really, we are just going for something in a different area that needs a refurb.
