12 month fixed term employment, good work history & mortgage

I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on this one. I am currently 5 mnth into a 12 mnth fixed term contract earning 38k + bonus. Was in my last for just under 3 years and have not been unemployed since getting my masters degree 5 yrs ago. My wife earns £28k + bonuses and has been employed by the same company for over 6yrs. Yet it seems that its hard enough to get a mortgage. I live in London, we are 1st time buyers with a 10% deposit (max up to 250k house value) looking for 90%. It is possible to get a lender at the moment or should I just get a permanent job? Thanks in advance for any info.

Well, probably, so what you now need to do is look on the net and ask about for what’s available then apply for some.0
