Hi everyone.
Me and my partner are starting to look for a house and there is a house we like, but we still want to look around - just started looking last weekend really. My partner is in permanent employment and his probation period ended in the beginning of October. But I am just due to start my job on November 13th and there is 3 month probation period - don't think any company hires now without one... I have been at university before studying PhD (which I haven't finished yet and going to finish it while working).
I have been to few banks over the lat few days and in few places they were not too excited about me being on probation (in other places they didn't ask). They mentioned that could get a letter from employer stating that I am working with them and my starting date, but not sure how it works.
Has anyone been in this position? Do you know how can we move on and get the mortgage? I really want to get a house and I am fed up with renting. Please, can you advise me what could I do?
