Step-by-Step Guide for Home Movers

Moving home can feel like a big task, but following a clear plan helps everything run smoothly. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to support you through the process:

Review Your Current Mortgage

Check the terms of your existing deal, including any early repayment charges, and find out whether your mortgage can be ported to your new property.

Confirm Your Budget

Assess how much equity you have, what deposit you can put towards your next home, and what you can comfortably afford each month.

Secure an Agreement in Principle (AIP)

An AIP gives you an indication of how much you can borrow and shows estate agents and sellers you’re a committed buyer.

Start Your Property Search

Browse online listings, speak to local agents and arrange viewings for homes that meet your needs, location preferences and budget.

Make an Offer

Once you find a property you love, submit an offer through the estate agent. Be prepared for negotiation depending on demand and market conditions.

Appoint a Solicitor or Conveyancer

After your offer is accepted, instruct a solicitor to begin the legal work, including searches, contracts and enquiries.

Arrange a Property Survey

A survey helps highlight any structural issues or repairs needed, giving you reassurance before you commit to the purchase.

Submit Your Full Mortgage Application

With the offer agreed, we’ll help complete your full application and gather the necessary documents for your lender.

Exchange Contracts

At this stage, you’ll sign contracts, pay your deposit and agree a completion date. The transaction becomes legally binding.

Completion & Move-In Day

Your solicitor transfers the mortgage funds, and you collect the keys to your new property. You can now move in and make it your own.

Possibly. Many lenders allow you to port your current mortgage to a new property, subject to affordability checks and lending criteria. We can review your deal and explain whether porting is suitable.

This depends on your current interest rate, early repayment charges, borrowing needs and the deals available elsewhere. We compare both options side by side so you can make an informed decision.

Your deposit often comes from the equity in your current property. The amount required depends on the lender and the type of mortgage you choose, but most home movers need at least 10% for competitive rates.
