Portability
If the mortgage product you have chosen states it is portable, this means you can retain the benefits of the product even if you move house.
We have four portability statements depending on the type of mortage product you have. Please ensure you read the correct one relating to your product.
FIXED/DISCOUNTED/VARIABLE RATE PORTABILITY STATEMENT
These products are subject to an early repayment charge if the loan is repaid in full or in part or is transferred to an alternative product up to and including the date stated in the product terms and conditions.
The mortgage product you have chosen is portable. This means you can retain the benefits of the product even if you move house.
You can transfer the balance from your current mortgage account to a new mortgage account secured on your new property. The terms and conditions that applied to your mortgage product will continue until the end of the early repayment charge period. If you do not wish to transfer your mortgage product, an early repayment charge will be payable on the amount which is not transferred and you will then be in a position to choose an alternative product.
If your new mortgage does not start within three months of the redemption of your current mortgage, an early repayment charge will be payable. If you take out a new mortgage at a later date, you will then be in a position to choose an alternative product. The early repayment charge previously paid will not be refunded.
If your new mortgage is less than your current mortgage, you can transfer the amount you need and an early repayment charge will be payable on the difference. If you increase your borrowing at a later date, you can choose an alternative mortgage product for the extra amount you require (subject to product terms and conditions). The early repayment charge previously paid will not be refunded.
If your new mortgage is more than your current mortgage, you can transfer your mortgage product and choose an alternative mortgage product for the extra amount that you require (subject to product terms and conditions).
To transfer your current product the Society will charge a new Loan Application Fee and a Valuation Fee on the new property. However, if an additional product is chosen in respect of additional borrowing, the fees applicable to that product will apply.
You will need to complete a Loan Application Form and we will carry out our usual status enquiries and obtain a Valuation Report on the new property. We cannot guarantee to offer you a new mortgage if your personal circumstances have changed, the Society's lending criteria has altered or the property is deemed not to be suitable security. An early repayment charge will be payable if the Society in unable to transfer your mortgage.
Products are only available within England and Wales and borrowers must also be UK residents.
