TUPE Transfer

Hi


I am finally looking to take my first steps on to the property market with the other half, hopefully this month if we can find the right house.


Amongst the millions of worries I've got is that in October last year, the directors of the Company I worked for purchased our part of the business and we have set up as a new company.


As part of this I was transferred across under a TUPE transfer (having previously had 10 years service) to a newly incorporated company.


Will lenders see my employment as a risk with it being a new company?

    Nope. No problem at all.

    Only issue might be is if you own 20% or more of the ordinary shares.

    The other big worry is that I've got quite a few gambling transactions on my statements (although they are shown as paypal payments) totalling about £200-300 per month made up of £20's and £30's here and there.


    Combined we've got about £60,000 saved as a deposit for a house in the region of £180,000-200,000.


    I take home about £2,100 a month with only a phone bill of £50 and a charity donation of £30 per month as regular outgoings - I tend to save approx. £1,000-1,300 a month.


    Do you reckon the gambling/paypal transactions will be an issue and is it best to come clean as to what they are to the lender?

    Stop gambling, some lenders get twitchy about them.

    Maybe 3 months prior to applying for mortgage stop gambling at least so it doesn't show up on your current accounts. Even if it's paypal, they may ask what these regular transactions are

    Put the winnings back, if your account

    Not winning and have a regular £200-£300 going out review your priorities.

    £240pm is £40k borrowing capacity @ 4% over 20years

    Do you think you have a gambling problem?

    You spend over 10% of your take home pay on betting.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    Not at all.

    I only have about £100 a month of regular outgoings and it doesn't affect my lifestyle at all.

    That will all change when you have a house.

    Which is exactly why I've been enjoying it while I can!

    We both know that it will all change once we have a property (we have 5 holidays a year at the moment!) so we've been enjoying and spending plus saving while we can!
