Your options if you’re an existing Santander
mortgage customer moving home
As an existing customer, when moving home you have two options regarding your mortgage with us:
1. You can apply to take your current mortgage with you
2. You can choose a new deal from our current mortgage range
Our expert Mortgage Advisers will listen to your needs, provide you with advice and recommend the right mortgage for you.
What are my options
Take your current mortgage with you
Choose a new deal
You can apply to transfer your current mortgage
deal to your new home. By doing this you keep
the same interest rate. This is known as ‘porting’.
If you don’t want to take your current deal with
you, you can choose a new deal for the total
amount you want to borrow from our range,
including exclusive mortgage deals for existing
customers moving home.
Restrictions may apply, subject to status and our
lending policy at the time of application.
Benefits
■
It could save you money if your current interest
rate is lower than other mortgage rates currently
available.
■
You won’t pay an Early Repayment Charge (ERC)
if you ‘port’ the same amount.
■
It could save you money if your existing rate is
higher than our current mortgage rates.
■
You won’t pay an Early Repayment Charge if you
have less than six months left on your existing
deal when you apply for a new mortgage for
at least the same amount. In future we may
withdraw this offer.

Take your current mortgage with you
Choose a new deal
If you need to borrow more money, you’ll need
to apply to ‘port’ all of your current balance and
choose a new deal for the extra amount you want
to borrow from our current mortgage range,
which includes exclusive deals.
You will need to consider any fees that may apply,
whether you want to pay them upfront or add
them to your mortgage. If you choose to add any
fees to your mortgage, this will incur additional
interest over the term of your mortgage.
If you want to borrow less money, you will have to
pay an ERC on the amount you pay off, if an ERC
applies to your existing mortgage.
If you want to borrow less money, you will have to
pay an ERC on the amount you pay off if an ERC
applies, regardless of how long you have left on
your existing mortgage deal.
If you can’t complete on your new home on
the same day as you pay off your existing
mortgage (known as non-simultaneous
completion) you will have to pay an ERC if
one applies to your mortgage.
Considerations
However, as long as you complete on your new
home within three months of paying off your
old mortgage we will refund this ERC. To get
your refund you need to contact us on
0845 6000 346 once your new mortgage
has completed.
If you have more than six months left on your
existing deal when you apply for your new
mortgage, you will need to pay an ERC if one
applies to your mortgage, regardless of how much
you are borrowing.
If it takes longer than three months to complete
on your new home, you won’t be able to ‘port’
your existing interest rate.
We can’t ‘port’ your existing mortgage deal if your
new home is already owned by you.
If any fees apply you can either pay them upfront
or choose to add them to your mortgage. If you
choose to add any fees to your mortgage, this will
incur additional interest over the term of
your mortgage.
What to do next
To discuss your options, ask any further questions or book an appointment when you are ready to apply you can speak to one of our
Mortgage Advisers either in branch or by calling us on 0800 587 6742.
During your mortgage appointment, you’ll be asked some important questions about you, your needs, your circumstances and your
finances so we can complete a full assessment of your income and outgoings. This enables us to confirm how much we can lend to
you and confirm that it is affordable.
