    Home movers come to the 2-year fixed market with an advantage most first-time buyers lack: accumulated equity. That equity compresses your loan-to-value ratio, often landing you in the 60–75% LTV bands where pricing is genuinely competitive. The table above filters by LTV so you can price the band your sale proceeds actually buy you — the difference between an 80% and 75% LTV deal can be meaningful, and it only takes a small increase in your offered price or a modest early overpayment to cross it.

    The trade-off specific to movers here is timing. A 2-year fix reverses in roughly the same window as a typical house purchase chain — you’ll be shopping for your next deal not long after settling into the new property. If you’re in a long chain, there’s a real risk your rate offer (typically valid for around six months) expires before you exchange. Locking a 2-year fix at the earliest opportunity and then managing the clock is a different calculation from a 5-year deal where the offer expiry pressure matters less.

    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.

    Refreshed every night

    Every product, every lender, re-ranked nightly. No manually maintained best-buy lists, no stale screenshots of last week's market.

    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 2-year fix to the new property?
    Yes, if your lender allows porting — most do. Porting moves your existing rate and balance to the new home, avoiding an early repayment charge. If you’re borrowing more, the top-up sits as a separate sub-account at the current rate on offer, with its own 2-year term. Two sub-accounts with different end dates is manageable at 2 years; it tends to become messier the wider those dates diverge, so it’s worth checking the exact end dates before deciding.
    02What happens to my ERC if the sale falls through?
    If you’ve already applied for a ported product and the purchase collapses, the ERC remains live on your original mortgage — you haven’t exited it. The key is not to redeem the existing mortgage until your new purchase actually completes. Most lenders allow you to withdraw a porting application without penalty; confirm this with your lender before you exchange on the sale side.
    03Is 2 years long enough to fix when I’m moving?
    It depends how settled you expect to be. If there’s a chance you’ll want to move again within the fix — upsizing for a growing family, or an uncertain job location — a 2-year term keeps you nimble. If you’re confident this is a medium-term home, the extra certainty of a longer fix avoids another remortgage cycle at a point when life is already busy. The rate differential between 2 and 5 years is visible in the table and worth running through a simple fee comparison.
    04How does the LTV filter work if I haven’t sold yet?
    Use the equity in your current home plus any additional cash you’re putting in to estimate the deposit, then divide by your expected purchase price. Estate agent valuations and local sold prices give a working figure. You’re not locked into this LTV at application — lenders revalue before completion — but it tells you which rate bands are realistically in reach and whether it’s worth pricing the next band down.
