HSBC porting and Early Repayment Charge

We completed on 16/10 stayed with HSBC as per Mortgage Advisors advice to avoid Early Repayment Charge so ported our current mortgage over and have borrowed more to make up the difference. We have been charged an early repayment fee does anyone know if this is right? The Mortgage Advisor told us we wouldn’t be paying it. Thanks.

You should have queried this when you received the draft completion statement from the solicitor.0
