Do i have to be working in full time employment for 3 years before i can get a mortgage ?
I didn't think it was that long to be fair.

No you dont. Although some lenders may want a minimum period with the same employer.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
You dont need to be in full time employment for 3 years to get a mortgage. Every lender is different. most of them are happy with 6 months employment while others ask for longer. Also, there are some lenders that offer mortgage based on the actual contract in place without having been in employment or having received your first salary.0
