House Move & Mortgage/Port advice

Hi All - Hoping to get some advice if possible.
We are looking at moving house, we've got itchy feet again but we're not sure how the whole mortgage/porting it goes.
Our house is worth around 415K and we have a remaining mortgage of 295K and the house we are actually interested in is on the market for around 285K so a chunk under our current mortgage.
Unfortunately, the remaining length on my deal is around 4 years so my question is so if i got a new mortgage, i'd have to pay early repayment fees which i don't really want to do, so can I port my existing mortgage to this new house, even though its cost less than the mortgage I have and even if this is possible, what happens to the difference between the mortgage and the cost of the new house which is likely to be around 5-10K.
Is that even allowed or not?
Thanks in advance for any help.
