Question on max mortgage

Hi I have a quick question. My OH will be a probationary teacher next year on £22k and i earn £41k. Is a £230k mortgage out of the question? We have no debt and good credit scores etc.

Or would we need to wait until OH had a full time permanent position?

Thanks in advance

    It is not out of the question.


    Deposit size could be key.

    The new Property price is 265k and currently have equity of c£30k to put down on this. So only just over the 10% mark. How does that sound?
