    If you have worked as say an english teacher in a secondary school for the last 7 years and move to another part of the country to work in the same kind of school doing the same job I am sure most lenders will be happy with 3 months wage slips.
    So if you cant stay with family then rent for 6 months

    There are some lenders that will work off just a contract to start within 3 months, others would do it with as little as one payslip.

    You can’t apply for a mortgage based on a job you know you are leaving.

    So either move to the area, rent and find a new job and then apply or find a new job in the area in advance and then apply.

    A broker would know which lenders will be better for your situation.

    You’d better move there and speak with an estate specialist, than to get involved financially into the process with conditions you won’t agree. Each state has it’s own laws which are totally different from one another.
    This is a UK site, we don't have states.
