Mortgage in principal / new job

Hi!

Ok, I know this has probably been asked before but ive looked through pages and pages on the search and can't find an answer so please don't bite me!

I'm a FTB, have a mortgage in principal but not found the right house yet. If I were to get a new job will I have to wait 3 months before we will be allowed the mortgage?

Many thanks in advance :o

    Some lenders will want you to have completed any probationary period - if you have no probationary period then you are fine

    Other lenders will be fine with the probationary period, as long as you have been in continuous employment
