    Ring your mortgage lender or check online to see what the mortgage balance is today.
    Moving is expensive with stamp duty and other costs so start saving

    We're porting our fixed rate to a new build which we've part exchanged our current property for, and haven't got to pay the ERC.
    Might be worth checking with the bank what the minimum % deposit they want for a new build from your particular builder, as they can have set figure.

    we bought at 140,600 and it is now estimated to be worth between 156,000 and 159,000.

    you will have paid off some of the mortgage(£5k ish).

    current equity should be around £35k at £156k
