Mortgage porting query

Hi all
Struggling to get my head around whether to port or not to port….
Our house is on the market with around 150k equity. We are fixed with Nationwide for another 4 years and have £175k outstanding on the mortgage. We are looking to purchase a house of £425k with 75k from the equity and using the rest of equity with moving fees, refurbishing and clearing credit card. Can you use some of the equity when porting for such things? Or should I pay the ERC and look for a new deal? How does it work? Thanks in advance

Technically you can port the existing product on the £175,000 you have and borrow the extra on another current rate.
Whether to do that, or pay the fees and take a new rate on the lot, depends on the figures.I am a Mortgage Broker
