Moving to a new location for work, retirement or simply a lifestyle change?
Looking to buy something more appropriate now that your children have left home?
It’s important when you want to move home to know where you stand...
- How much can you borrow?
- How much would that cost you each month?
What would the costs be such as:
- Estate agent fees
- Solicitor costs and stamp duty
- Is there an early repayment charge with your current lender?
- Could porting your mortgage could be a better option, compared to taking out a new mortgage with a different lender?
Easy Mortgages can help you answer all of these questions and take care of this process for you.

Offer
Once the valuation has been approved the lender will produce an offer. Here your interest rate and other conditions will be formally provided.

Legal Work
The solicitor will then complete the pre-exchange of contracts including deciding on a completion date.
Payout
Additional payments will be paid to you via the requested method of payment if an equity release is also part of your remortgage strategy.
