    Some lenders don't need any min employment time. Are you in probation at the moment or is it permanent. Have you worked without break for 12 months - is it in the same line of work.

    Clearly your circumstances would need to be fully considered to see whether you are going to get a better deal by waiting.

    You need to speak to a whole of market mortgage broker as they will be able to marry your cirumstances up with the best lender and product.
