How many months wage slips required for mortgage application

I am looking into getting a mortgage to buy a property but have recently started a new job so I am just wondering what the usual criteria is regarding how many months payslips I will need to provide when I do a mortgage application.

    Varies from lender to lender.

    Minimum one, usual maximum three, particularly if you want variable earnings taken into account.

    It's totally dependent on the lender, along with their individual lending criteria i.e. if you have a high LTV/small deposit they may want to ask for more. We only had to provide 3 months' worth but some people have to provide 6.

    Also, if you are in a probationary period, that can be a problem with some lenders.


    Consult a broker.
