I'm hoping for some advice here! We have found our dream home and so ready to move from tiny 1 bed into a bigger home with our 2 year old twins. We are moving to a cheaper area so property we are buying is the same price as ours. All straight forward we thought.... We will just port the mortgage. But after some basic research I'm now panicking this won't be possible. We moved here 6 years ago, never missed a payment but when we got the mortgage we were both working. I'm not working because I had twins and they were born at 23 weeks and both have medical issues so I can't return to work. If we re apply we couldn't borrow the same amount we've had for 6 years and already have and have paid comfortably because his salary alone is not enough. It's madness. Please someone reassure me we can get round This? We are with Chelsea. Or are we just stuck here. Calling mortgage company tomorrow but just wondered if anyone has been through the same? We are desperate to move as we are 3rd floor flat and both my twins have cerebral palsy so need a ground floor, it would make life so much easier. Thanks in advance!
