Re-Claim Mortgage Early Redemption Charges

I moved house prior to the end of my fixed rate. The Halifax said that I couldn't take the fixed rate with me - so I had to re-mortgage and pay 2% of the outstanding balance in penalties for redeeming early. Is this fair - and would this type of charging fall within the scope of unfair ?:confused:

    The Halifax allow porting, as long as you and the property meet their criteria on new application

    what was it in your case?

    "Early Redemption Penalties can't be reclaimed. These are charged when you repay or switch mortgage during a special deal, such as a fixed or discount rate (see the Mortgage Guide / Remortgage Guide for details)."
