    Deposit can be determined from the new product you are applying for.  The fact that you are porting has no relevance to the new product you choose. 
  • Hi there . Was just wondering what happens in the situation if you move house while in a 2 year fixed rate mortgage which has just started?

    You apply for a new mortgage for the amount you need. At completion of the sale/purchase the old rate is transferred to the new mortgage. If you are borrowing more, you chose a new product for that amount based on the overall LTV at application stage.
