in Mortgages & endowments
I currently have a remortgage offer and I have just signed the land registry paperwork to send to the solicitor, so I think I'm only a few weeks from completion, Am I suposed to tell the mortgage company if after I have completed I am looking at changing jobs? I wouldn't hand in my notice until I have completed but I have my bus licence and really want to be a bus driver, would I get into trouble if I do this?

    If you dont change jobs until after completion, there will be no impact, assuming you can still pay the mortgage they wont know or care.

    people change jobs all the time .They rarely tell the mortgage company .
    All the mortgage company want is your payments

    So I don't have to inform them, the monthly payment is only £160 so could afford it even If was part time lol

    Not a chance of doing it before I would have to tell them then and risk losing it
