🆕 NEW JOB?
Most lenders want 3 months payslips, regardless of probation period - but some will accept a sparkling new employment contract and just the first month's payslip.

🫰 NO OR LOW DEPOSIT?
There are now more than a handful of lenders offering low deposit mortgages - most require a minimum of £5k - giving first-time buyers an exciting opportunity to get onto the property ladder without having to live at home until you're in your forties!

Office motto: “If it sucks, it can get in the bin.”
Today? Definitely bin.
This week? 8 mortgages approved, 2 couples moved, and next week is basically a marathon.
It’s 8pm on a Friday, the laptop is now off, and the wine is finally uncorked.
Mortgage broker life: chaotic but delicious.

Summer holidays: gone 🥺
Kids: marched back to school like tiny, grumpy soldiers.
Parents: pretending to be sad but secretly enjoying the peace 😂

If you’re stepping back into routine life and **thinking about future plans** or **getting your home goals organised**, this new season is the perfect time to reset, breathe, and get working on those future house goals.
