Explore your mortgage options

When it comes to moving house, there are several mortgage options to consider. You can opt for a traditional approach, where you sell your old house and seek a new mortgage. Alternatively, you might choose to port your existing mortgage over or take out a new mortgage for additional funds, perhaps for renovations.

Our advisors at L&C can talk you through the advantages, benefits, and challenges of each option and support you on your journey.

About your borrowing ability

Calculating exactly how much you can borrow depends on a number of things, such as:

  • How much you spend each month on regular commitments
  • Whether you're paid a basic salary, a basic salary plus bonus, commission or overtimeIf you're self employed
  • The amount of deposit you have
  • Your age and whether you are looking to borrow beyond your retirement date

One of the most important factors in determining how much you can borrow is the lender. Each lender has different criteria and as brokers who, last year successfully placed mortgages with 59 different lenders, we are perfectly placed to match the right lender to your borrowing requirements.

What if I need to borrow more?

Sometimes it can be possible to borrow more than the calculator on our website shows you and that's where our expertise comes in. We are sometimes able to arrange higher borrowing by taking your own individual circumstances into account.
