🏡 Home Mover

A home mover is someone who already owns a property or has owned a property in the past and is now looking to purchase a new one. This could be for various reasons, such as:

• Upsizing or downsizing

• Relocating for work or lifestyle

• Moving closer to family or better schools

• Seeking a different type of property (e.g. detached home, countryside location, etc.)

Unlike first-time buyers, home movers already have experience with the mortgage process but often face more complex financial considerations—such as selling and buying simultaneously, managing equity, and deciding whether to port an existing mortgage or start a new one.

💼 How You I Help as a Whole-of-Market Mortgage Broker

As a whole-of-market mortgage broker, my key advantage is access to the full range of lenders and mortgage products available, rather than being limited to a single bank or panel. Here’s how I can specifically help home movers:

1. Assessing Your Client’s Current Position

• Review existing mortgage — check early repayment charges, remaining balance, and whether porting is beneficial.

• Calculate the available equity from current property sale to determine how it can be used as a deposit.

2. Finding the Best Mortgage Deal

• Compare rates, fees, and terms from across the entire market.

• Identify lenders sympathetic to complex situations, such as chain delays or unusual income sources.

• Evaluate porting vs remortgaging to ensure the client doesn’t miss out on a better overall deal.

3. Managing Affordability and Application

• Run affordability checks based on new property price, income, and outgoings.

• Handle all the application paperwork and lender communication, streamlining the process.

• Help understand borrow-back options, repayment flexibility, and overpayment features that suit future plans.

4. Coordinating Timelines

• Advise on managing the sale and purchase simultaneously, reducing stress and potential delays.

• Work with solicitors, agents, and lenders to ensure smooth completion and exchange coordination.

5. Providing Long-Term Value

• Offer ongoing advice for remortgaging, protection insurance, and future moves.

• Build a trusted relationship for future financial planning needs (e.g. buy-to-let or equity release later in life).
