Pay increases are acceptable and must be confirmed by the employer. Increases must be within a reasonable time frame and will be reviewed by your underwriter.
Future employment
Income can be used as part of the affordability assessment as long as the employment begins within the next 3 months and this can be evidenced by provision of a signed contract. The future employment must meet all other standard employment criteria.
- For 75% LTV and below, we require the latest payslip plus corresponding bank statement
