excitedhalls 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 Hi We have been told very confusing information - we get told that we can apply for a mortgage after we have been in work for 3 months and then by someone else we have to be in work for 12 months. This is very very annoying and not helping us plan - does anyone have any ideas??? thanks Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moving2melbourne 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2012 The reason for this is that if you are doing the same job as what you were in the UK some financial institutions will class this as continuous employment. Have a chat with Andrew Williams, he has got some great deals on mortgages for people moving over http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/pension-transfers-ask-vista he can also give you the ins and outs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Williams 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 Hi I've just come across this thread so sorry it has taken so long. There is no set time period that someone has to be in employment before obtaining a mortgage. It really comes down to the individuals circumstances. I have managed to secure mortgages for expats buying their first home here in Oz pretty much as soon as they have started work in some instances, as I say it depends each persons situation i.e visa type deposit amount, employemnt situation past and present etc etc. Hope this helps, regards, Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Investors Mortgage 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2013 The reason behind the 3 month rule is - Lenders are hesitant with Probationary periods. Generally the probation is for 3 months hence the 3 month minimum period. If you are not on any probation, there are lenders who will accept you from day one. However, there are still conditions around previous industry experience, deposit and LVR. For situation relating to your personal circumstances, please contact me on the details below.
