Porting question

Options
Hi

I have a meeting with tsb on Friday to discuss my mortgage options

I currently have a 112k mortgage on a house valued at 140k with 2 years remaining... 3k erc

We are close to having a property put into our name which my mother in law has kindly stumped up the cash to buy while we work on the property and have our home to live in.

On the sale of our house will we be able to port our mortgage over to the new house to repay the mother in law?

New house 120k purchase... With value of 180k upon restoration

Thanks

    Not if the house has gone into your name within the previous six months, that is against TSB rules.

    To remortgage you need to have held the property for six months unless you have inherited it.

    You should check this point with TSB before you waste a trip on Friday.

    Thank you for the response

    So if we sold our house after 6 months due to taking time to renovate extend the property would the port be possible.? She's not in a massive rush as long as she gets it back

    Solicitor mentioned putting a charge on new house so we would legally owe mother in law the 120k
