FAQs for Home Movers

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

What is a Home Mover mortgage?

Home Mover mortgages are often referred to in different terms such as Moving House and Existing Homeowner Mortgages. Essentially if you have a home with a mortgage and you're looking to move to a new home, you'll need to secure a mortgage for the new property and transition over.

You may want to use your current mortgage lender or look at other options in the market.  Octagon Finance can help you understand your options and support you through the process.

What's a Mortgage Agreement in Principle (AIP)?

An Agreement in Principle (AIP) also called a Decision in Principle, Mortgage in Principle, or mortgage promise, is an initial, tailored calculation indicating how much a lender will allow you to borrow to buy or remortgage a property.

Securing an AIP prior to scheduling house viewings proves your financial credibility to estate agents and sellers, giving you the confidence to set a realistic budget and make serious offers.

At Octagon Finance, we can evaluate your figures and deliver an AIP within a single day. Simply get in touch with 3 months of recent payslips or 2 years of verified trading accounts if you are self-employed.

How do fixed-rate and tracker mortgages differ?

A fixed-rate mortgage locks in your interest rate, ensuring your monthly payments stay identical throughout your agreed term.

In contrast, a tracker mortgage moves in tandem with the Bank of England base rate—meaning your monthly commitment will adjust whenever the official rate changes. Once your tracker period ends, your mortgage generally transitions onto the lender's Standard Variable Rate (SVR).

How do mortgage overpayments work?

Overpaying means putting extra money toward your mortgage balance beyond your required monthly repayments and this will reduce the total capital owed.

Most fixed-rate mortgages permit you to overpay up to 10% of your remaining balance per year without paying any penalties, though exceeding your allowance can incur an Early Repayment Charge (ERC). If you hold a tracker or Standard Variable Rate product, you can usually overpay unlimited amounts penalty-free. Always confirm your specific annual allowance with your mortgage provider before making extra payments.
