Mortgage Fees When Moving House
The mortgage rate is not the only number that can affect your moving cash requirement.
Mortgage costs to check
Look for product or arrangement fees, valuation charges, broker fees, transfer fees and any charge for closing your existing mortgage. Some product fees can be added to a loan, but doing so can mean paying interest on them.
Moving an existing mortgage
If your current deal is portable, you may be able to apply to move it to the new property. Porting is not automatic: affordability, loan size and lender criteria still matter. Ask the lender for a redemption statement and a clear list of charges early.
