Help to find a mortgage

I've found a house i'd like to buy, but have a bit of a dilemma.

Basically I need to borrow 20 - 30k on a mortgage. I have at least 50% deposit as me and a family members clubbing together. My problem is

a) i don't think i'm on the electorial register, but i'm not totally sure (i think i have to ring the council to check, which I will do on my next day off)

b) i've just started (6 weeks tomorrow) on a permanent contract, but its a 6 month probation, so think it may be a problem. Before tax my basic wage is 10500, but theres always extra hours and I do sleep ins too as part of my job. Before that I was working for an agency for nearly 9 months, and have worked many jobs before which i can prove.

HSBC has said no as I don't earn 15,000 :( (which i find rediculous as i've banked with them for years so they know what i spend and what i save!)

I've also got accounts with Halifax, Lloyds, Nationwide too.

Anyone have any advice? It would be greatly appreciated :)
