Change a joint mortgage to a single applicant mortgage on a new property.

Current mortgage joint 45k on a 400k property. I want to buy a property at around 130k, retaining a the 45k mortgage on new property as a single applicant.(remainder will be paid in cash)

400k property will not be sold. Current total income around 16k. (SE & PAYE, all joint Accounts)

Will i be able to port the mortgage or will it have to be a new application ? 

Really want a simple solution and trying to avoid jumping through hoops. lol

    You could use the savings you have, that you are going to use to fund the difference between your new mortgage and the new home value to clear the current mortgage. Then you apply for a new mortgage on the new property.

    Yes , i wanted to avoid that as that is a brand new mortgage application. Was hoping to port across, unsure if that's possible
