Let me save you fifteen thousand pounds. This is the stamp duty trap that catches home movers out, and most people have never heard of it.

Complete on your new home before selling the old one and the taxman can treat you as a second-home buyer, surcharge and all. The good news? It's usually claimable back. Watch the short, then get the full story in today's guide on my YouTube.

Moving house? Here's the bit nobody tells you.

When you bought your first home, you had one job. Buy. Now you're a buyer AND a seller at the same time, and getting the two to line up is where the stress, and the surprise costs, sneak in.

I've put together a proper, start to finish guide to the whole home mover journey. Porting your mortgage, the equity that quietly becomes your deposit, the dreaded chain, the stamp duty trap that catches movers out, and the protection review most people forget when their mortgage gets bigger.

Grab a brew and have a watch, the full guide's on my YouTube. The link, my contact details and the quick enquiry form are all in the first comment below.

If you're thinking about moving this year or next, this one'll save you a few headaches.

Buy first or sell first? It's the home mover question with no perfect answer, only trade-offs.

Sell first and you're a strong, chain free buyer, but you might end up renting for a bit. Buy first and you avoid the gap, but you risk a weaker offer and a nasty stamp duty surprise. Here's how to think it through.

Ever applied for a mortgage and felt like the lender just went "computer says no"? This week's news might be for you.

The Financial Conduct Authority, who write the rule book for mortgages, have set out plans to make it easier for more people to get one. Top of their list: first-time buyers, the self-employed, people paid in a foreign currency, older borrowers wanting to use the wealth in their home, and people who've had a minor blip on their credit file in the past.

The big shift? Lenders being encouraged to look at your whole, current situation rather than auto-rejecting you for one missed payment from years ago.

A couple of sensible caveats. This is a consultation, not a done deal (it's open until 28 July 2026, with the first changes expected later in the year). And just because you might be able to borrow more, doesn't always mean you should. Borrow what's comfortable, not just what's possible.

If you've been told no before, it could be worth another look. Drop me a line:

Quick question worth sitting with. When you moved up to a bigger mortgage, did your safety net grow with it?

For a lot of people the honest answer is no. Life cover set up years ago, on a smaller mortgage, never touched since. The house got bigger, the protection stayed the same, and that gap is exactly the bit that would land on the family at the worst possible time.

Moving home is the natural moment to check. Contact details in the first comment.

Protection policies have no cash in value, and cover ends if you stop paying premiums. Definitions, exclusions and waiting periods vary between insurers.

Moving up the ladder? Good news. Your next deposit might already be sitting in your house.

It's called equity, the gap between what your home's worth and what you still owe. And for a lot of movers, it's a far bigger deposit than they ever managed as a first time buyer.

Before you move, remortgage or buy your first home, do one thing first. Check what the lenders actually see.

The three UK credit agencies often hold slightly different information, so checking just one gives you half the picture. checkmyfile pulls all three together in one report, so there are no nasty surprises when you apply.

Best done nice and early. Link in the first comment.

Three things changed in UK mortgages this week, and if your deal is up soon, one of them is worth two minutes of your time.

The Bank of England base rate hasn't budged, it's still 3.75%, with the next decision on 18 June. But underneath it, lenders are competing hard, and this week the direction was down. NatWest, Barclays, Halifax, Lloyds and HSBC all trimmed their fixed rates. The biggest falls were on the high loan-to-value deals, the ones for first-time buyers with a 5% deposit, so the door is open a little wider there. And landlords had a good week too, with TSB and Paragon repricing buy-to-let, the sharpest pricing going to energy-efficient properties.

Here's the practical bit. If your mortgage deal ends in the next six months, it's worth looking now. You can usually secure a new rate early and still switch if things improve before it kicks in. Whether you're in Hinckley, Lutterworth, Market Harborough or anywhere else in the UK, a quick chat costs nothing and could save you a fair bit.

There's one number every home mover should know before they move, and almost nobody does. It's your Early Repayment Charge.

Get on a fixed rate, move at the wrong moment, and it can cost you thousands. Watch the short, then go and find yours tonight.
