Frequently asked
Should I buy or sell first?
In a slower market, selling first is usually safer. If you buy first, bridging finance can cover the gap.
Can I keep my fixed rate when I move?
Many lenders let you port your loan to the new property, avoiding break costs.
How does bridging finance work?
The lender funds your new purchase before your current home sells, with interest often added to the loan until the sale.
