New job/salary - how will mortgage broker view?

Hi all, appreciate any thoughts people may have on this.

I have a decent salary (lucky) and am selling my house at the moment, likely to have £200k from the sale as a deposit. My current mortgage provider has given me a mortgage in principle based on current salary and LTV ratio with said deposit.

However I am likely changing jobs soon and would expect an uplift in salary. Can I get a new mortgage in principle on the new salary once I have a contract or do I have to have been in employment with the new job and received pay cheques? Will they view risk differently in a new job and be less generous in the mortgage they would give me?

Many thanks for your time.

    You may have less options depending on whether or not you have started the new job, but there are a couple of lenders (at normal rates) who will accept a letter of employment for the new job as evidence of income - within reason.
