Lenders that will include temporary employment income?

After 3 years off work to be a SAHM, I'm now back in work on an 18 month contract, which is highly likely to go permanent (but this might not be until much later in the year). We would like to move house but what we are after is just above what we can afford on my husband's salary alone. So, am hoping to find a lender who will include at least a % of my salary. Any ideas? Thanks

  • Quite a few will do this as long as you have at least 6 months outstanding on the contract.


    I would contact a good broker.

    This sounds like a very good reason to use a mortgage broker as it's just the sort of thing that they could advise you on.
