    As your wife's job finishes in August, then this means her salary will be zero when applying for the mortgage.

    You have declare this.

    She will either need to get another job BEFORE you appy for the mortgage, or just base it on your salary.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    I'm afraid you've timed this very badly.

    As things stand you'll have to apply for a mortgage on your income alone. Or hope your wife secures employment before you apply.

    Playing devil's advocate, you want to make sure you are in a position to supply a payslip on the day before the money is released by the bank. It's not guaranteed that they'll ask for it, but this is how and when it would all go wrong.
    Again, playing devil's advocate, nothing untoward is likely to happen if you get the money but your wife is unemployed the day after as long as you make the repayments.
