    It will probably be a bridging loan you are after. depending on the LTV, the rate would be around 0.7-0.8% per month.

    Its probably worth speaking to a broker as i dont think they are available direct - although i could be wrong.

    Why do you need to purchase before you sell? What are the timescales? Sometimes a lender will allow a delay in completion of the sale and you can avoid a bridging loan.

    A bridging loan, if you need one should be done through a broker.

    price your right and it will sell just as fast as you can buy the one you want.

    Porting the current loan might be sensible with a top up it is a good rate.

    A few £K less on you place will be worth the simplicity and keeping the good rate.

    If you have sufficient income to support both mortgages then this may be possible with a standard mortgage.
