Looking to move home?
A Home Mover Mortgage helps you finance your new property — whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating. This guide explains everything you need to know before making your next move.

What is a Home Mover Mortgage?

A Home Mover Mortgage is designed for people who already have a mortgage but are planning to move to a new property. It enables homeowners to either transfer their current mortgage (known as porting) or apply for a new mortgage for the new home.

This type of mortgage is ideal if:

You’re looking for better mortgage terms
You’re moving to a bigger or smaller home
You’re relocating to a different area
You’ve outgrown your current property
