Mortgage question

loriexxx · 2018-05-06 16:03:53

I am on a permanent contract with the same company for a number of years and my husband is on a temporary contract and is the higher earner. Do we have any chance of getting a mortgage or is it going to be a straight out no when he is not on a perm contract

A lot will depend on how long your husband has been working for the same employer, what he does for a living and why he's on contract. Basically any lender will want to know how likely it is that your husband will be out of a job at the end of his current contract. Being on contract is not a definite decline from the outset. A fair few employers only take on permanent employees in limited circumstances, e.g. RTE, HSE etc.
