Solution: We helped them port their existing mortgage and arranged top-up borrowing to cover the new purchase.
Outcome: They moved into their new home with minimal fees and kept a great rate.
Status: Harriet was moving from a 4-bed house to a smaller bungalow. She wanted to release some equity for retirement.
Solution: We helped her pay off her old mortgage and secure a new deal for the smaller home, with a small, flexible loan.
Outcome: Harriet downsized comfortably, with cash in the bank and lower monthly payments.
Status: Michael got a new job in Manchester and needed to move fast. His existing deal had 9 months left.
Solution: We assessed his lender’s porting terms and advised that switching lenders made more sense, even with a small early repayment charge.
Outcome: He moved quickly with a 5-year fixed rate on the new property, and no stress.

A: Typically 2–4 weeks for mortgage approval, depending on the lender and complexity. We’ll keep things moving quickly.
