Hi All, can someone make any sense of the following.
1. Porting my current mortgage with HSBC to new property.
2. Current property is a flat, new property is a flat
3. I know i have to borrow existing balance or more and complete within 6 months on new property NOT for the ERC to kick in. I'm 2 years into 5 year fixed.
4. I put down 20% deposit on current property, however the new propoerty will be 10% because 20% would take me below current balance of existing mortgage triggering ERC
5. HSBC are telling me i cannot put 10% down on new flat because they require 20% deposits on Flats? Has anyone ever heard of this? Is it true?
I can't find anything on their website which dictates what percentage deposits are required for what type of properties. It sounds ridiculous.
Can anyone shed any light on it please.

Btw if you borrow less than current mortgage it doesn't trigger the full erc to be paid. Only based on the amount not being borrowed1

Thanks very much, spoke to someone at their mortgage centre in the end, the whole porting process was not explained to me correctly initially. All ok now.
