One point of contact
Your adviser keeps you updated throughout
People often move within Great Dunmow and the surrounding villages as a family grows, or to swap a town home for a larger one with more land. A move involves your current mortgage as well as your next one, and the two need to fit around your sale and your purchase.
We review your existing deal, explain whether porting or a new mortgage may suit you, and help you keep the move on track.
Moving home around Great Dunmow
If you have lived in the area for some years, you may have equity in your home that can go towards your next deposit. We can look at how much you may have, what your lender would let you take with you, and whether borrowing more makes sense for the home you want. Moving up to a larger home or one with a bigger plot usually means a larger loan, so a lender will look again at your income and outgoings.
Older properties around Great Dunmow can take longer to sell and to buy, because surveys, searches and listed-building or conservation-area questions add time. A lender’s mortgage offer is valid for a limited period, so we talk through your timeline before you commit. If you are buying and selling at the same time, your solicitor will coordinate the dates, and we can explain how the mortgage fits around them.

Frequently asked questions
Should I port my mortgage when I move from Great Dunmow?
It depends on your current rate, any early repayment charge and how much more you need to borrow. Porting needs the lender’s approval, so we compare it with arranging a new mortgage.
Does an older or thatched home slow down a move?
It can, as surveys and conditions may take longer and fewer lenders may be willing to lend. Telling us the address early lets us check before your sale is too far advanced.
Should I port my mortgage?
It depends on your current deal, how much more you need to borrow, and what other mortgages are available. We compare the options and explain which looks best for you.
Will I pay an early repayment charge?
If you repay your mortgage during an early repayment charge period, your lender may charge you. Porting can sometimes avoid this. We will check your mortgage terms.
Important information
- Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
