Hi there,

We want to port our current home mortgage.
Current property is valued at 280k with 100k equity.

We have seen a house we like that is valued at
930k.

We don’t want any additional borrowing.

We would make the difference up.

To port, do we have to go through all affordability again
We don’t want to borrow anymore.

The bank would have huge amounts of security on our
New home if we was to port to current deal 5 year
Fixed/ 3 years remaining. Thinking logically about
The situation.

Our provider is TSB.

P.S I really appreciate all the feedback.

    Yes everything is re-assessed, it is treated as if it was a new application.

    This is due to regulation.

    You are porting the product not the Lending.

    The property providing adequate security is a base requirement. Mortgage lending is a low margin high value business. Priced for minimal default. Lenders would prefer not to have to repossess. As a time consuming and expensive business where they don't recover all the costs involved.
