What the advice covers

How Rahul supports your sale, purchase and mortgage application.

Rahul takes time to understand your circumstances, researches suitable mortgages from the lenders and products available through RG Financial Services, then explains why he considers his recommendation suitable, the costs involved and any relevant risks. If you proceed, he remains your contact while the application progresses.

  • Your target purchase price and likely moving costs
  • Any changes to income, commitments or household plans

Review your current mortgage

Check the balance, rate, deal end date, porting rules and any early repayment charge.

02

Set the next budget

Combine estimated equity, moving costs and potential borrowing to establish a realistic property range.

03

Review the options and apply

If you decide to proceed, Rahul will prepare the mortgage application around the expected sale and purchase timetable.

Frequently asked

Questions about mortgages when moving home.

These answers are general. Advice and lender criteria depend on your individual circumstances.

What does porting a mortgage mean?

Porting means applying to take an existing mortgage product to a new property. It is not automatic: the lender will assess a new application, the property and the borrowing required.

Can I borrow more when I move?

Possibly. Additional borrowing is subject to affordability, lender criteria and the new property. The additional amount may be on a different product or interest rate from the amount being ported.

What if my sale and purchase complete on different dates?

The mortgage and legal implications depend on the gap and the lender’s rules. Your conveyancer and adviser should be involved early so the available options can be considered.

When should I review the mortgage for a move?

Ideally before you commit to a purchase price. An early review helps identify the estimated budget, porting conditions, charges and documents before the sale and purchase progress too far.
