BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Portable Mortgages, Voucher Stacking, Church Music

Winifred Robinson looks at portable mortgages, voucher stacking and church music.

Why some people with 'portable' mortgages cannot move them to a new home, money-saving tips from voucher stacking, and the device that lets guitarists become church organists.

Millions of people have a 'portable' mortgage, which in principle allows them to transfer the interest rate to a new home, but many are finding that they don't meet new eligibility criteria, even when they aren't looking to borrow any more money.

Voucher stacking is the habit of looking for deals that allow you to combine them with other offers, resulting in a large discount from the selling price. We hear how much it can save.

And a new gadget for guitarists claims to mimic the sound of church and cathedral organs. Could it be an alternative for churches that struggle to find an organist?

Presenter: Winifred Robinson
Producer: Joel Moors.
