    Monthly payments illustrated on a £250,000 repayment mortgage over 25 years; fees not added to the loan. Rates shown are for comparison — full lender criteria apply.

    When you move house, your mortgage position resets around two numbers: what your new home costs and how much equity you’re bringing from the sale. Years of repayments and, in many areas, house price growth mean movers often arrive at a lower LTV than first-time buyers do — and every step down through the LTV bands (85%, 75%, 60%) typically unlocks a cheaper rate. The tables above price the home mover range specifically; purchase rates and remortgage rates sit in their own ranges at most lenders and shouldn’t be mixed.

    The other decision unique to movers is what to do with an existing fix. If you’re partway through a fixed deal, leaving it to buy a new home means either paying the early repayment charge or porting the mortgage. Porting moves your current deal to the new property; if you’re buying a more expensive home, the extra borrowing is priced at today’s rates and runs as a separate tranche. Weighing the ERC against the rate difference on a full new deal is worth the arithmetic — the answer changes depending on your balance, rate gap, and how many months remain.

    We ingest the data ourselves

    Most comparison tables license the same third-party panel. We build ours directly from lender product data, run through our own quality-assurance pipeline — so we sometimes list deals other sites miss.

    Mortgages only

    We're the UK's only mortgage-only comparison site. No credit cards, no car insurance — just every flavour of mortgage, done properly.

    Frequently asked questions

    How these tables work, and how to choose between the deals on them.

    01Can I port my current mortgage to the new property?
    In most cases, yes — portability is a standard feature of UK fixed-rate mortgages, and your lender will apply you afresh against their current affordability criteria for the new property. If you’re buying at a higher price, the additional borrowing is treated as a new application at today’s rates and runs alongside your ported deal. Porting normally avoids the early repayment charge; failing the new affordability check is the main reason it falls through. Timelines can be tight if your chain is moving quickly.
    02How do I work out whether to port or take a new deal?
    Compare the cost of the ERC (usually a percentage of your outstanding balance) against the saving from switching to a cheaper market rate over the remaining fixed term. If your current rate is close to or better than today’s best buys, porting is likely the right call. If rates have fallen substantially since you fixed, paying the ERC and switching can be worthwhile — particularly on larger loans where the interest saving compounds. Your solicitor needs to know your decision early as the porting redemption and new purchase complete simultaneously.
    03What LTV will I be on when I move?
    Divide your new mortgage amount by the purchase price of the new property. Your new mortgage is roughly your old outstanding balance plus any additional borrowing, minus your sale proceeds after paying off the existing deal. Movers who bought five or more years ago often find they’ve dropped a full LTV band or two — from 85% down to 70%, for example — which opens up cheaper pricing. Use the LTV filter above to see exactly what the rate tables look like at your band.
    04Can I borrow more when I move to cover the cost difference?
    Yes — additional borrowing is standard on a home mover application. If you’re porting, the top-up is assessed as a new loan at current rates and runs as a second tranche alongside the ported portion. If you’re taking a completely new deal, the full loan is assessed together. Either way, the lender runs affordability on the total debt and checks the combined LTV sits within their criteria. The rate you pay on the additional borrowing is always today’s rate, never your existing deal rate.
    05How do chain timing and rate lock windows interact?
    Most lenders hold a mortgage offer for three to six months from issue. If your chain collapses and resets, the offer may expire before you reach completion, requiring a fresh application. Some lenders extend offers on request; others don’t. Fixing a rate early — before your offer is accepted — usually isn’t possible on a purchase, unlike a remortgage where you have a property and a clear completion target. Factoring in a realistic conveyancing timeline when you choose a product is worth doing.
