House for sale

Options
Hello any help greatly appreciated. My house is currently for sale, been trying to sell for close to two months with no luck what so ever, in this time i have been making regular overpayments to try and reduce my mortgage. currently paying close to 7% . should i remortgage (current deal runs out 1st april) and then port this to my new property when i move, is this possible? or just hang in there with current provider principality until i move?

    if you move mortgage now there will undoubtedly be costs involved. If you are moving soon anyway you may as well wait and get the best deal you can on your new place.

    A lot of deals are portable, so you could move them to your new place, but they would be subject to a valuation and a new lending decision.
