    some figures required
    current mortgage? (assume this is the same figure you started with if interest only)
    current house value?

    If a mortgage is portable, it is the rate etc this applies to, in most cases you would still need to make an application to check the salary multiples, credit rating and LTV fit with the lenders current requirements

    How do you propose paying for the costs of moving?

    Will your current lender agree to such a proposal?
