Question for Brokers

I've been renting for years and really want to buy now.
I am working for an agency (social work) and the pay is quite reasonable.
Deposit wise I'd be looking to put down £20k on a £100-120k mortgage.
Is there any possibility of getting a mortgage based on 3 or 6m payslips in a temp contract role?
Prior to this I was self-employed and have 4 years of accounts.
Many thanks in advance.

    There will be a way deffo,  I'm a permanent social worker but my agency mates have managed to get them. Think they needed larger deposits though

    Two years in similar role and you will be fine.
