What is the minimum time to get a Mortgage with a New Job
Getting a mortgage with a new job is a distinct possibility but as Mortgage Lenders apply different rules you are better enlisting the services of a professional Mortgage Broker to avoid disappointment.
To explain further every Mortgage Lender will have a defined set of rules for determining whether to lend to employees looking for a mortgage, these normally cover the following question set:
- How long have you been in your current job?
- Were you working in a similar field previously? If so, for how long? Was this on an employed basis?
- Is the position permanent, a fixed term contact or zero hours?
- Are you related to the employer?
- Is there a probationary period?
- Are the contracted hours excessive?
- Do you have a signed employment contract?
- Does the job require relocation, extra travel or child care costs? If so, how will this affect affordability?
- Is the level of earnings in keeping the role?
- Is the new job your sole income?
Example: Mortgage with a New Job
Lender A: no minimum time in your current job provided the position is permanent and there has been continuous employment for 12 months in a similar line of work.
Lender B: 6 months in current job or passed probation if longer. No prior jobs needed.
Lender C: will work off a signed job offer contract even if the job is only due to start in 3 months’ time.
