Buying a new property when i have a mortgage on an existing property.

Hello,

I am interested in buying a property in Uxbridge that is worth £115,000 with 100 years left on the lease.

I already own another property worth £115,000 with 85 years left on the lease and 10 months left on a 4 year fixed rate deal at 4.69%.

Is there a way of transferring my exisiting mortgage onto the new property and do I have to sell my current property in order to do this ?

My lender is Alliance and Leicester and I am planning to phone them this week to discuss this and any additional borrowing I may be eligible for.

Many thanks,

Habib Hussain.

    You need to speak to the lender. Only they will know whether or not your mortgage is portable
