Payslip dilemma...please help

Hey everyone!

I need to provide either 1 months pay slip or a contract to my mortgage provider.

I have recently started a new job…so don’t get a payslip until the 28th but received my contract today. Unexpectedly it states that that I am on a 2 year fixed term contact.

Do mortgage providers look down on fixed term contacts as ‘less secure’?
Am I better off waiting until I have the payslip and submitting this (which only states wage not length of contract etc)?

    They could ask for an employers reference anyway especially if its a new job

    who is your mortgage lender? a two year fixed contract is secure enough, I don't imagine you would have a massive problem here

    Chill - just send your payslip in on 28th! House purchase proceeds so slowly that a less than 2 week delay will make no difference - and that way you don't advertise that the job is on a fixed term contract. 2 years is a long term anyway....:D
