Planning your next move

Plan selling and buying a house at the same time.

Compare sell-first, aligned and buy-first scenarios using your own editable figures. The result is a planning reference, not a lender offer or recommendation.

Plan the money for my move

Work from the sale through to the next mortgage. Try an expected case and an uncomfortable case before relying on the result.

1. What may come out of your sale?
2. What may the next home require?
3. Test repayments and a buy-first gap

5.35% copied as a reference. This is the advertised 1 year standard rate shown for Kookmin. Edit the field above to test another rate.

4. Test the uncomfortable case
LOWER FUNDING RISK

Sell first

You know the sale result first. Allow for accommodation, storage or moving twice if dates do not overlap.

Ask: where would we live, and what would that cost?
COORDINATION HEAVY

Align settlements

Sale proceeds may flow into the purchase with less temporary debt, but linked agreements and dates can fail to line up.

Ask: what conditions protect each agreement if a date moves?
HIGHER FUNDING RISK

Buy first

The peak-debt and overlap figures show the pressure before sale proceeds arrive. Approval is never automatic.

Ask: can we carry the lower-price and delayed-sale case?

These are dated reference figures, not confirmation of today’s rates. The source date shows when the provider says its data was updated, not when this page retrieved it. One-year advertised rates are shown in lender order, not ranked from cheapest to dearest. Standard and special products are kept separate because eligibility and product criteria differ.
