Mortgage

in Mortgages & endowments
I am relocating for work and mortgage free at the minute. The house I have seen is £30,000 over what I have. I am currently on a military pension (£10,512 per year) and have no pay-slips obviously as I start work next month. I did an online application and the best I have found is £9000 mortgage which obviously is not even worth the interest.

Any workarounds or do I have to wait 3 months and lose the sale on my house? I don't want to rent.
Thanks

    Live with friends ? Parents ?
    Sister, Brother, Aunty Flo or RENT somewhere for 6/12 months while you explore the new area your going to move too.
    Campervan or Tent ⛺ 
    It takes the pressure off as you have the cash in the bank from your sale and wage slips plus military pension to sort a new mortgage out.
    It's very expensive buying and selling so why rush into buying in a new area.
