Can I Just Move My Mortgage to Another House?
Yes, you can! If you have a portable mortgage, you can transfer your existing mortgage loan from one property to another. If you are not sure if your current mortgage is portable, it will state in the lender documentation you received when you first took your mortgage out. This can save you time and money as you won’t have to go through the process of applying for a new mortgage.
