Mortgage whilst on probationary period

In two weeks I start a new job, as standard I have to do a 6 month probationary period.
My previous job of 4 years was part-time, this new job is full time.
What are my chances of getting a mortgage (I'll be a first time buyer) during the next 6 months?
Thank you.

what sort of circumstances would make it do-able/not do-able?
All being well is it likely to be possible straight-away or a few months in?0 -
Straight away with the right lender.
Make contact with a broker and do a full fact find with them, be sure to discuss the job situation, and they will tell you your optionsI am a Mortgage Adviser

thank you both very much.
I'm a complete newbie to mortgages so please forgive all the questions- what would a full fact find be?0 -
A chat about your circumstances that will enable a professional to recommend a suitable product and lender for you.
Should take between 30mins to 90mins depending on how many questions you have and if you look at products together or not.I am a Mortgage Adviser
