New employer company affect mortgage application?

Hi all, I hope everyone is well.

I am currently self-employed and have been offered a permanent contract with a company that only started up in Oct 2016. The company is very small, however, revenue is very health (Say the employer) hence the job offer.

I am looking at applying for a mortgage in around 3-6 months (First-time buyer). Would a lender see the new company as a negative or would the lender not looking into this as my contract would have a notice period?

Kindest regards
Darren

  • The plausibility of this could be put into question depending on the exact details.

    There's a few key things a lender could query about this so I would ensure you use a good broker.
