Mortgage change advice

Hi,
I have an existing mortgage with nationwide paying £238 /month @ 1.19% and the deal runs out 31st Oct when it switches to £259 / month @ 3.59%. My dilemma is that we currently have our house on the market and aim to move within 4 months. Should I switch my deal or wait until our potential house move. I am concerned that applying twice in quick succession may affect our application to get a bigger mortgage on new property.

To compound matters my BTL mortgage also runs out soon and I will need to renew/ change this shortly as well.

Any advice welcome

thanks

A

    You want to sell your house and not pay ERC,s so let it drop onto the SVR and hope it sells soon.
    It's only £21 a month extra.
    You want to have the choice of the whole mortgage market and all the lender's to find the best deal.
