Mortgage on Temp Contract

Options
Hi,

I'm looking to get a house with my girlfriend next year. We are first time buyers and are looking for a house in the region of £150k, we have a 10% deposit.

She is starting a new job in Sept as a teacher but it is only a temp contract for a year. She will be on £21k.

I am on £28k. We haven't enquired about morgtgages yet and was wondering if we would still be able to get a mortgage with my girlfriend only having a temp contract?

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

That hat is mine!!!

    What is your girlfriend doing? Is there any likelihood of the contract being extended?
