Key Points to Consider for Successful Mortgage Porting

Requalification When you request to port your mortgage, you essentially reapply for a mortgage deal. There’s no guarantee you’ll qualify again, especially if your circumstances have changed.

Borrowing Limit If you need to increase your borrowing requirement for a more expensive property, your lender may not permit it if you’re already close to your borrowing limit.

Two Loans Borrowing more might result in two mortgage products, each with different rates and end dates.

Higher Interest – Porting limits your options, and you might end up with a higher interest rate compared to other available deals or a remortgage. We’re experienced in mortgage porting and can advise on your specific situation.
