Hi,
So I worked for a company for nearly 3 months and have been not working for 2 weeks. would this affect me being able to get another mortgage or port my current mortgage?
Is 2-3 weeks ok? is it after 1 month then I would need to be inn employment for 6 months? or can I just be in employment for 3 months?

@jarv81178 There might be other aspects in the background that are relevant, but a 2 week gap between jobs is very unlikely to be a problem with most lenders. The answers to the other questions you have asked depend on the specific lender policy and the rest of the scenario, there isn't a uniform answer to give unfortunately.When it comes to start viewings, I would recommend consulting a broker so they can look at the whole scenario and give you a realistic idea of your borrowing options.
