Porting Mortgage-Deposit

Hi all,
I've just had an offer accepted for a house at 175k, selling mine for 105k. I have a remaining existing mortgage of 89k. I've been told I can port my existing mortgage at a good tracker rate to the new house. So how does this work?
Does the deposit count as the profit of selling my house against the existing mortgage (16k) plus the 37k savings I have? So I'd get a 70% mortgage? I presume on completion day my existing mortgage is cleared and a new mortgage started for the 122k I need total with the 89k of it I had on my existing mortgage at the old rate?
