If the property is not in negative equity- you can sell the property at any stage, and refund the mortgage. If there is negative equity involved- you need the express permission of the lender, before you can sell the property.

There were proposals to allow people to sell properties in NE and move to a new property, bringing the NE associated with property 1 with them. They were never particularly popular- I think PTSB were the only company who had this product (open to correction on this).

Talk to your current lender- see what they say- it sounds likely that after 11 years you may have made a reasonable dent in the principle on the property- however, you could still be in a NE situation- you need to clarify matters with your lender.

Im not in negative equity at at all its just that when i sell my house rather then having to start all over again trying to get a new mortgage could i just look for a new house to the value of my original mortgage so i would pay off my original mortgage lets say 200,000 , basically my original mortgage starts over again only with a new property

I think its called a portable loan

The old home is sold and paid off,as is the old mortgage,instead of starting a new one the old terms are used to mortgage the new home,this gives the appearence of a transfer,but in reality the portable loan is a way to recycle the loan terms you had before

No. You will have to apply for a new mortgage, and satisfy all the usual criteria.

This is possible in the States- in some limited circumstances. Not a snowballs chance in hell of getting it here.
