Can I change my work contract during mortgage application?

My husband and I have received a decision in principle for buying a home in Scotland.
We both have full time work contracts.
My husband is the main earner.
I have a health condition so may go down to a part time contract.
I would supplement income with agency work.

So my income would stay about the same.
Is this ok to do before applying for the actual mortgage?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Agency work is unlikely to be included as income until you have a track record of perhaps a year.
Would you pass affordability without it?I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
