Moving House & Job

musicmaker29

Hi!

My wife and I are moving from the Midlands down to Devon. I already have a job down there and have started. My wife currently works in the Midlands and our house is sold STC.

Once we have purchased a house down south, the plan is for her to stay at her parents here for a bit until she finds a job down there and then she can move.

The question is, will the banks allow her current income to be taken into account on the mortgage application? I can't help but feel that a lot of people must move a few hundred miles and there must be someone out there who has done this before!

Thanks, A

Stating the obvious, no.

There might be a lender for this but ultimately it would be down to the underwriter looking at the case. Assuming there would be no costs for your wife to stay there during the week I think you have options.
