TUPE

Was looking at applying for a mortgage as have now got a decent deposit but have just found out today that my employer is being bought and will be TUPE to new company on 1st May. I'm guessing that I'm now best to wait until I'm transferred over but can anyone tell me how this will affect me. I've been with current employer 6 years, will it still go down as 6 years or will it start from scratch for mortgage application and I'm I best waiting a certain period of time after transferring before applying for a mortgage?

    @weetod This should have no adverse impact on your chances of getting a mortgage. You don't *have* to wait to be transferred over to apply for a mortgage.
