If you port the mortgage, you're just switching which house it's secured against, right?
So if the bank will lend you an extra £200k against the new place, and you have £300k in cash from the sale, you have £500k to spend (less solicitors' fees, moving costs etc.)
That matches your notional paying-it-back-and-getting-a-new-mortgage number, so I think it's right.

Sounds about right...
As of now then you have a house worth 300 and a mortgage of 190. So you're worth about 110.
If you port it and get a house for 500 then you'll have a house worth 500, a mortgage of 190 and a second mortgage of 200. So you're worth about 110.
And having a 78% LTV mortgage as you would do (390/500) is pretty sensible there too.
(obv stamp duty, solicitors fees etc) but it doesn't sound like you're missing anything.

this sounds about right, the more debt you take, the more interest there is, that's what mortgages are for.
Generally it is a good capitalist thing to be in debt to the limit, all you need is to know whether you want to do it, and consider the security of your income as a factor.

Alright lads, I'm a bit shellshocked as I've just got off the phone with my mortgage provider asking them if I can port the mortgage over and they've offered me a good £40k more than I thought I could get.
Here's my question. I've £190k to pay back on my current mortgage. I think I can sell this place for £300k, if so I think that means I've got about £110k for a deposit. Bank has offered me a £390k mortgage.
Now if I'm not completely insane that means I THINK I have about half a million to spend (max). That cannot be right though can it? Don't I have to pay something back somewhere? I literally feel like my brain is working at right angles with reality
