    Would you be kind enough to find this and post a link to it, because my searches on newbuild, help to buy and firstbuy are coming up with nothing on the Woolwich Intermediary and Consumer sites.

    Wow you are really lucky being able to change jobs at the drop of a hat, especially to something so well paid for your age. I don't know about Woolwich as I can't find it on their website, but most banks need 3 - 6 month employment history before approving a mortgage.

    What do you mean by this?

    Again, you need to be talking to your mortgage broker, not pixels on a screen.

    Lender treatment of income is dependent on its source.

    Are you;-

    - employed
    - self-employed
    - a contractor
    - a director?

    Is your employment permanent, temporary, casual, fixed contract?

    Is this gross basic salary, net profit? Are there variable earnings such as overtime or bonus included? Are they irregular, regular or guaranteed?

    If you are looking for an answer "yes" to your question;-
    So will it be enough to get approved?
    You are going to need to provide so much more information. If only you'd tell a mortgage broker all this, you'd have all the answers you need...!

    You're in Solihull. The HCA HomeBuy Agent is Orbit, based in Coventry. We're on the Orbit panel. Please get some help from one of the approved advisers, even if it isn't us;-

    Can you find a specific link to "Help To Buy?"

    Woolwich was a FirstBuy lender, but this scheme was replaced by Help To Buy on 1 April.

    Kingstreet I couldn't find anything on the consumer website, only on the broker one. I found out due to googling the subject of lenders and there was an article on it. Natwest are also on board according to it.
    My broker rang woolwich and confirmed that they are taking applications. I am very close to making one for a new build, I was hoping for more involvement from lenders and a better rate.

    My colleague has been on a newbuild symposium at L&G in London today. The best he came way with was Nationwide would sign-up in the next four weeks.

    As we understand it, the old FirstBuy lenders, such as NatWest, Barclays/Woolwich, Leeds and Nationwide, are not yet "aligned" with HTB, the only exception being Halifax.
