Mortgage porting question

Hi, current situation is we have a cash buyer paying £270K for our house, we are buying a house £230K, we have 2 mortgages (using round numbers, for ease) one £3K and one £22K both fixed rate for 5 years. We are going to use the cash sale to pay £205K and port over the mortgages.  Speaking to our mortgage company after sending many documents, we now have a 2.5 hour telephone appt to arrange doing this, at the end of the convo to arrange this meeting, advisor said "we can work out what your new payment will be", my question is why would it change if we are not borrowing more or extending term why would it change? Thanks in advance for any advice.
