Employer contact

Options
Another question, sorry … first time buyer and very anxious!

Our application is in with Leeds and is in a queue to be underwritten.

I've given 3 months payslips and bank statements which show my salary being credited but i had 6 weeks off following an operation so some sick pay shows on my payslips (full pay so no change to my income).

Would they normally ring work to check I'm back/not likely to be off again? Or is it standard practice to call and check salary details etc? I'm asking as I gave my line managers details on the fact find but he's off for the next two weeks - I'm wondering if I should get in touch with someone elses details.

Thanks

  • It is highly unlikely that they will contact your employer at all.
    This really doesn’t happen very often and if they did need a different contact then they would get in touch with you / your broker.
