Information for moving house
Do you want a change, somewhere better, somewhere bigger, or just somewhere else?
Saving
You can use the equity in your current home as a deposit for your next one, but when it comes to property a little more cash in reserve never goes astray. To see how a high interest account can build up your savings, use our Savings Calculator.
To help identify areas where you could save a little more each week, use our Budget Planner.
Selling or renovating
Remember, moving is not the only way to get yourself into your dream home. If you like the area and house you live in, you could renovate. Read the pros and cons of both options in Move or Renovate?.
If you are seriously considering renovations check some of the things you need to think about before you draw up the plans in Plan and fund your renovations.
If you decide to sell and move, check out our Sellers’ Guide:
Borrowing
To work out how much you should be borrowing, get some advice in How much you can borrow.
Then, for an estimate of how much a lender might allow you to borrow, try our Borrowing power calculator.
Once you know that you can work out what your repayments might be using our Loan repayment calculator.
And don't forget, don’t forget to factor in all the extra costs that come with buying and moving to a new home.
