paying ERC charge and moving

Options
we are 15 months into our 5 year fixed nationwide mortgage @ 2.19%
we want to move as our house but need a bit of advice on moving mortgage and how it works
we are prepared to pay the 7k ERC, and with a deposit we would need roughly the size of mortgage we currently have for a new property.

is it a case of moving mortgage to a different property or do you need to go through whole application again ( our income is about 6k then wen we applied )

    Have you considered porting the mortgage to the new property? A full application will still be required. 
  • Doing the same with HSBC and porting the mortgage. It won't be worth paying the 7k, unless you personally just want to. 
  • thank you both so porting seems possible - confirmed with Nationwide

    could you provide further assistance if possible please? 

    -we have o/s balance of £155k on mortgage, if we sell our house for £280 , we would have £125 equity
    -our income has gone down and affordability calculator says Nationwide would lend us £145
    does that mean it would till be possibly? would we need to make the £10k difference up from savings? 
  • I'm trying to work out what price we could go to on a new property to see of it's worth porting , or just selling up

    Whatever you do this is going to be expensive.

    Why do you needed to move that is not clear.

    we are prepared to lose a bit of money, as the other alternative is to sell up and rent 
     we have issues with the house ( personal )  and would rather sell now whilst prices are at a preminum in our area

    Buy a cheaper property and reduce the size of the mortgage. Have you factored in how much it's going to cost you to move?
