Hertfordshire has strong demand from families, commuters and people relocating from London. Whether you are moving up in St Albans, downsizing in Watford or relocating to Stevenage, your mortgage should fit your plans.
We review your current deal and explain your options, so you can plan your move with a clear view of the cost.
Moving home in Hertfordshire
Values differ a lot between Hertfordshire towns, so a move from one to another can mean a large change in what you pay. People who sell in a higher-priced town and buy in a lower-priced one may release equity, while those moving the other way often need to borrow more. Either way, we explain how lenders view the change and how to plan for it.
Hertfordshire is also a popular choice for people leaving London for more space. If you are selling a London home and buying here, you may be managing two different markets, and possibly two different sets of leasehold or freehold arrangements. We explain how lenders assess these, and help you plan for the timings of two completions.

Frequently asked questions
Can I move from London to Hertfordshire and port my mortgage?
Possibly. Lenders have their own rules on porting, including the property and the amount you want to transfer, and you may need extra borrowing at a different rate. We can compare porting with a new mortgage.
What if I buy before I sell?
Some buyers do this, but it affects how much a lender will allow, since you may be paying for two homes for a time. Tell us your plans and we can explain what is possible.
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.
- You may have to pay an early repayment charge to your existing lender if you repay your mortgage early.
